The basic verb stem in this verb is EUR (see aorist EURON). This class verb 
(class V in Brooks and Winbery, Morphology) adds ISK for the first principle 
part (present and imperfect). In the other principle parts there is added an 
epenthetic E/H (regularly done in liquid stem verbs). Hence the sixth principle 
part which adds QH to the stem has an E added to the rho for euphony. 

Hope this helps,
