What puzzles me is that Trubachev (usually accurate as to
references), commenting on Vey's etymology (in just some words that
don't clarify anything, including his opinion on that) in two
different books makes the same reference (BSLP#49 (1953), 24-40). Was
this Society so productive as to publish at least 17 (!) issues
during a year?

I agree, the only -r-form that can be involved (more or less) is
Latin a:cer 'sharp'.
