hardern.

Brit. /ˈhɑːdə/, U.S. /ˈhɑrdər/, South African English /ˈhɑːdə/
Inflections: Plural unchanged, harders.
Forms: 1600s 1800s– harder, 1700s harter, 1800s harders, 1900s– haarder.
Origin: A borrowing from Dutch. Etymon: Dutch harder.
Etymology: < Dutch harder (already in Old Dutch; Afrikaans harder ), cognate with Old English heardhara , heardra , denoting a kind of fish, probably a mullet, of uncertain origin. Perhaps compare herring n.It has been suggested that both the first and the second element of the word ultimately derive from the same Germanic base as herring n. (with an intervening dental of uncertain origin). In form harter after German †Harter (1719 in the passage translated in quot. 1731), variant of Harder (1540; < Dutch, via Middle Low German harder ). The singular form harders apparently results from reanalysis of the Dutch plural form harders as a singular.
Now chiefly South African.
Any of various mullets (fish) of the family Mugillidae; esp. (in early use) the cosmopolitan grey or flathead mullet, Mugil cephalus, and (South African, in later use) the South African mullet, Liza richardsonii.
