The most likely explanation for these new forms is that the ending "-awr" was dissimilated to "-ar". In some English words like "venom", a final "n" (for example in French "venin") has dissimilated to "m". Related word dissimilation Voiced stops dissimilate to voiceless before any voiced consonant.
