  Can be pronounced like (raw) or (rah-oo)

  This word is a cognate of the word our, the origin of this word comes from Anglish communities, which use English that is close to 100% Germanic, therefore many Old English terms and Old Germanic terms are revised, this word in particular is believed to be a mistranslation between the Old English word "ure" with the German word "rau" and the Ancient German word "unseraz", this likely happened due to the differences in pronunciation of words among the Anglish community. Possibly the similarity between the pronunciation of the last syllable in "unseraz" (raz) and rau could have brought the origin of this word.
