"mordu" IS the past participle of "death" in French, i.e. "tu as mordu" means "you have died." French for "death" would actually be "mort." However, since it's a Scottish themed movie, it makes more sense to me that the writers were going for the Scottish "mor dubh" (bh being silent) which means "large black," as in a description of the bear. That's actually what I thought the characters were saying in the movie. I think the Disney spelling is just an Anglicization.
