щуръ

Old Ruthenian

щуръ

Etymology unclear:

Borrowed from Proto-Finno-Permic, from Proto-Uralic *šiŋere. Compare Early Proto-Finnic *šiire, Proto-Permic *šu̇r (“mouse”) (whence Komi-Permyak шыр (šyr), Udmurt шыр (šyr)) and Moksha шеер (šejer).[1]
Inherited from Old East Slavic, from Proto-Slavic *ščurъ, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *skjauras, probably of onomatopoeic origin[2] or possibly from Proto-Indo-European *skewh₂- (“to lash, to swing, to buzz”).
Less likely to be borrowed from Ancient Greek σκῐ́ουρος (skíouros, “squirrel”).[3]

Cognate with Polish szczur (“rat”), Kashubian szur (“rat”), Lower Sorbian šćur (“rat”), dialectal Upper Sorbian šćurk (“rat”), dialectal Russian щур (ščur, “rat”).
