hmmm.. mountain? looks interesting "a aburca"=to climb up explained by
dex cf. "urca"= to climb up expl. as proably from Latin *oricare ( maybe
from "orire").
these will matches the sense of *gWor ( even if not directly "mountain")
but not of "abur".

"abur" is not just "steam". Abur is too "breeze" and fog.
Cf DEX:
abur:
1.) water steam
2.) rarefiated fog
3.) breeze
3.) light blowing of the wind
