### Etymology 1

From Proto-Polynesian *huru (compare with Tahitian uru, Samoan ulu, Tongan hū), from Proto-Oceanic *huru (compare with Fijian curu) from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *surup (“enter, penetrate”) – compare with Malay surup (“to possess”) and Javanese surup (“ibid., to enter”), Tagalog sulop (“to seep, to penetrate”).

#### Verb

uru (passive urua or uruhina)
* to enter, go in
* to possess
* to enlist, enrol, join, be included

    Synonym: upoko

### Etymology 3

From Proto-Eastern Polynesian *uru (“southwesterly wind”); perhaps originally a semantic extension of Etymology 1.
No words for the cardinal directions can be unambiguously reconstructed for Proto-Polynesian, as there would be little use for them on the small Polynesian islands. However, on the much larger North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and South Island (Te Waipounamu) of New Zealand, the usefulness of such terminology led the Māori to adopt this word for "west".

#### Noun

uru
* west
    Synonyms: (rare) wēta, (obsolete) [Term?]

    Synonym: kamusi

#### Usage notes

* In the sense of "bowl", "basket" or "container", the class of this word differs based on its determiner. If the referent is the content, uru is IIc class; if it's the owner, uru is IId class.
** For example, "manioc bowl" i.e., a bowl that contains manioc inside it, is aîpĩuru. If this was in the third-person, "its bowl", with its refering to the manioc, it would be suru.
** However, when refering to the person that owns or is holding the bowl, as in "his bowl", it would be sepuru.
* The same distinction is made with the sense of "vessel", though with a different word, ygara.

### Etymology 2

Unknown.
Cognate with Guaraní uru.

#### Noun

uru (unpossessable)
* New World quail (any bird in the family Odontophoridae)
