Urtas
UR̃TAS
Etymology
Cf. (?) German Ort, Ordt, Orth, Ohrt ¹.♦ Connection with German. pers.n. very doubtful because of the phonetic difference in the beginning of the words. Probably related to lit. úrtais „greitai, sparčiai, galvotrūkčiais, strimagalviais“, ur̃tom „greitai, sparčiai“, urtùs „smarkus, guvus, energingas“ (LKŽe).
