Big Tim, in Dwelly's the Illustrated Gaelic-English Dictionary, sometimes considered as the Bible for gaelic scholars, the word appears as 'durd'. Under 'dord' it says 'see durd' so we can make of that as we will, as both seem to be correct. The singer appears, to my ears, to be singing 'durd' but then again different accents, different sounds.
