Comments: S.A. Starostin reconstructed PSC *=ɨ̄́rŁV ‘stomach, belly’; the Bsq word may be from this stem with the fossilized class prefix *u= and the suffix -(i)l, frequent in body part terms: cf. Bsq *śabe-l ‘belly’, (AN) zurzu-il ‘nape’, etc., thus *u=rda-il. Any association with Bsq *urde ‘pig’ (q.v.) must be secondary.
