DEX consider the verb "aiura" as coming from "aiurea" and "aiurea" is
considered as being from Latin aliubi + re +a, which of course is of
course very "aiurea" ( nonsense)
It seems to me the "ai-" here is the reflex on an older "*aly-" and
"-ura" seems to be from "ura"(< *ora, thus "aiura"= "alio-orare" >
aliorare > a(l)iura(re)>aiura= to speak in foreign/strange/other way
which appears semantically solid enough. I guess these roots are IE
"*ali" and "*or".
In the same manner can be explained the word "aiurea" (sich irren):
*alio+*ore where *ore should show the movement, presumably from IE
*or/*er as in Latin "orior" or Alb. "jerm" (*er-mo) etc.
The final "a" can be explained as "due analogy" or one can see here
maybe the locative/definite article "a" alio-ore-a = this-strange-walk
