ウヲリ
Ainu「堀」
ourilow
Ouri means dig and occurs in sir-ouri, matching the adjacent シリウヲリ. It is a verb under the noun heading 堀. The former selection woroke means a hole beneath stones or moat, but adds ロケ absent from ウヲリ. Ouri is the closer lexical comparison; wori tests the historical vowel sequence without claiming independent attestation.
