vore, Du.
voor; Ger.
Furche "furrow"), from PIE
*prk- (cf. L.
porca "ridge between two furrows," O.Ir.
-rech, Welsh

Compare Welsh rhych (“furrow”), Latin porca (“ridge, balk”), Lithuanian prapar̃šas (“ditch”), Sanskrit पर्शान (párśāna, “chasm”). See: Frisian, Saterlandic 'Fuurge', Swedish '
fåra', Norwegian '
