WHAT IS UHURA?

 
 
Rabbi Bloomenstiel,
 
Hello.
 
I am in awe of your accomplishments. Just wanted to let you know that.
 
My question has to do with something you mentioned some time ago, "spiritual pride”, to which you applied a term which sounded like “uhura”.
 
I’ve looked for articles on the subject, without success. Could you point me in the right direction? Is there a standard transliteration?
 
Thank you.
 
Daniel
