# 𐌿𐍂𐍂𐌿𐌽𐍃
## Gothic
### Pronunciation

* IPA: /ˈurˌruns/

### Etymology 1

From 𐌿𐍃- (us-, “out-”) +‎ 𐍂𐌿𐌽𐍃 (runs, “run”). The sense of "east", may be a semantic loan from Koine Greek ἀνατολή (anatolḗ).

#### Noun

##### Declension

Only attested in the nominative singular 𐌿𐍂𐍂𐌿𐌽𐍃 (urruns) and in the dative singular 𐌿𐍂𐍂𐌿𐌽𐍃𐌰 (urrunsa); the declension of this noun seems thus to have been corrupted by the noun below, as one would expect the dative singular to be *𐌿𐍂𐍂𐌿𐌽𐌰, in accordance with the derivational base 𐍂𐌿𐌽𐍃 (runs) (dative 𐍂𐌿𐌽𐌰 (runa)). Furthermore, it is not known whether this noun was an a-stem or an i-stem.

##### Related terms

* 𐌿𐍂𐍂𐌹𐌽𐌽𐌰𐌽 (urrinnan, “to go forth, go out; to come out, arise”)
* 𐍂𐌹𐌽𐌽𐍉 (rinnō, “stream”)
* 𐍂𐌿𐌽𐍃 (runs, “run”)

##### See also

* 𐍃𐌼𐌰𐍂𐌽𐌰 (smarna, “feces”)
* 𐍃𐌿𐌽𐌽𐍉 (sunnō, “the Sun”)

### Etymology 2

From 𐌿𐍃- (us-, “out-”) +‎ Proto-Germanic *runsiz (“stream, course”).

#### Noun

𐌿𐍂𐍂𐌿𐌽𐍃 • (urruns) f
* (hapax) departure (death)
    Synonym: 𐌳𐌰𐌿𐌸𐌿𐍃 (dauþus)
** 4th Century, Wulfila (tr.), Gothic Bible: Gospel of Luke (Codex Argenteus) 9.31:𐌸𐌰𐌹 𐌲𐌰𐍃𐌰𐌹𐍈𐌰𐌽𐌰𐌽𐍃 𐌹𐌽 𐍅𐌿𐌻𐌸𐌰𐌿 𐌵𐌴𐌸𐌿𐌽 𐌿𐍂𐍂𐌿𐌽𐍃 𐌹𐍃, 𐌸𐍉𐌴𐌹 𐍃𐌺𐌿𐌻𐌳𐌰 𐌿𐍃𐍆𐌿𐌻𐌻𐌾𐌰𐌽 𐌹𐌽 𐌹𐌰𐌹𐍂𐌿𐍃𐌰𐌻𐌴𐌼.þai gasaiƕanans in wulþau qēþun urruns is, þōei skulda usfulljan in iairusalēm.Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. (KJV).

##### Usage notes

While the term is only used with the sense of "death" in the single place where it appears, it may, like its Greek model ἔξοδος (éxodos), also have meant "departure" in the sense of "action of going out or going away, or leaving" and been used for "death" only euphemistically. This, however, need not necessarily be the case; compare 𐌿𐍃𐌵𐌹𐌼𐌰𐌽 (usqiman, “to kill”).
