Remove rough edges from part of speech in Durham? ?U?R Is it burr I thought it should be deburr? And if so what is the Durham connection?

[ABerrant]

Speakers of the traditional English dialect of Northumberland and County Durham used an uvular 'r' known as the "Northumbrian burr".

A burr is also a tool for removing burrs (the small flakes of metal) after a machining process.
