uret1 (1113-19)

 
  FEW:  ora 7,383a Gdf:  oré 2 5,625c GdfC: TL: oré 3 6,1229 DEAF:  ore 2 (oret)  DMF:  orée1  TLF:  orée  OED: MED: DMLBS:  ora 1 2042a

While the form might be interpreted as a diminutive of ur1 (not attested in any other dictionaries), it is also possible to consider it a variant spelling of uré, a word that is otherwise not conclusively attested in Anglo-Norman, but which appears in Continental French (cf. the commentary for ur1). Note, however, Philippe's predilection for otherwise unattested or rare diminutives, particularly at the rhyme e.g.: atomete (Comput ants 2321), bestete (Best ants 1217 and 1305), cuncete (Best ants 3046), lesardete (Best ants ants1306), mustelete (Best ants 1218).
