Descendants

In Norwegian and Swedish, the form furu is derived from the oblique case of this noun, rather than the nominative. It is uncertain whether or not the Middle English word firre, whence Modern English fir, is the result of borrowing from Old Norse, or a genuine derivation from Old English fyrh, furh.
