Rumanian uger 'udder' (
http://dexonline.ro/search.php?cuv=uger) is considered to be originated from Latin u:ber based on a supposed transformation Lat. V-b-V > Rum. V-g-V (see also Romanian rug)-> this supposed transformation ignores the Aromanian from udzire...
Usually Latin intervocalic-b dissapeared in Romanian (caballus > cal)
with 'very few exceptions' ...uger being considred as 'one of them'..
The Indo-European reconstructed form for <udder> is *h1uhdH-r. / *h1ouhdH-r. (Skt. u':dhar, etc...)
The IE form *h1uhdH-r., regularly, would give in Rumanian-Substratum *u:dir- > [u:> u ; di>dzi] > Common-Rumanian *udzir- > [dzi > g^] > Rumanian *ugir-
The Aromanian form is <udzir(e)> that fits perfectly the Common Rumanian form <udzir->
Now the alternative etymology is Latin u:ber > Aromanian udzire ~ Rum. uger ?
Latin intervocalic b to give -dz- initially or only in Aromanian and later g^ in Daco-Rumanian?
Any feedback here?
