Etymology
From an obsolete verb stem *davūr- meaning "to refuse", which would have had stress on the last syllable of the stem in most forms. This is the reason for the unique alternative stress pattern of daor i.e. not as a standard diphthong but as two separate monophthongs with word-final stress. The obsolete verb, being from an earlier stage of the language, probably never had a full infinitive form, according to Peterson, but it would have been *davūragon had it existed.
