ur-
Meaning:
1. to hit; 2. to put
From the earliest period, it had two distinct meanings linked by the fact that both involve use of the arms; (1) ‘to put (something Acc., on something Dat. or Loc.)’; (2) ‘to strike (someone or something Acc.)’, from which, especially the first, a wide range of idiomatic meanings has developed. Those scholars who have tried to discriminate between these two meanings (e.g. Prof. Pelliot) by spelling (1) or- and (2) ur- were unquestionably mistaken (Clauson, 1972).
