Commoner has short disagreement with earl, oddly (5)

I have R?F?R

The clue leads me to RIFER (short RIF(t) with E(a)R(l) oddly) but the word doesn't seem to exist let alone mean "commoner"

Help!

I must be stupid - I was thinking of "commoner" as a noun - it never dawned on me that it could be "more common".

They're all easy when the penny drops!

Thanks, mac44
