I believe in that context it would be spelled "your'n".... When I was in college, back in the days when college was first being invented, I had a friend whose mother was a public school teacher who had a student named "Urine." Exactly this spelling. The teacher found it awkward and uncomfortable to address the student by her name like this, instead altering the pronunciation to "You-Rine" or "You-Reen," but the girl always corrected the teacher back to "Urine"....
