Wam *walzjan),, ‘to roll, turn, trundle’; factitive of , which was  only intransit. The  root walt, from Aryan wald, has no cognates in non-.   ', ', , ‘paunch, belly (of a skin), flank, dewlap,’ from  wamme, older wambê (wampe), , ‘belly, paunch, lap,’  wamba, wampa (wamba, wumba), . Corresponding to  wam, ‘belly (of a fish),’  and  womb,  vǫmb,  wamba, , ‘belly, body.’ There are no non- cognates of the common  wambô-, ‘belly, entrails.’ —   , , ‘doublet, jerkin, waistcoat,’ from  wambeîs, wambes, , ‘doublet, garment worn under the coat of mail’; a Romance loan-word;   gambais.  wambasium is itself a derivative of  and  wamba, ‘body.’   ,, ‘wall, partition’, from want (d),  want, , ‘wall, side’;   and  wand. This word is wanting in the other dialects ( waddjus,  wall). To connect it with the phonetically related gives no sense;,  ‘turning’?.   ,, ‘walking, change, behaviour,’ from wandel,  wantal, , ‘retrogression, vicissitude, stain, fault; trade and commerce, communication, intercourse.’ Allied to  wantalôn,  wandelen, ‘to change, transform, associate’ (, ‘to walk,’ so too  wandeln; see the next word). The cognates are based on the root of.  ,, ‘to travel, wander, migrate,’ from wandern, ‘to go, walk, travel.’ Derived, like the   ( wandeln), from.  ,, ‘cheek,’ from the  wange,  wanga, ;  *waggô, , ‘cheek,’ may be inferred from waggareis, ‘pillow.’   wanga,  wang,  wǫnge ( wangtooth, ‘jaw- tooth’); the borrowed  word guancia, ‘cheek,’ presupposes a term *wankja. The early history of the word is uncertain. wǫng, vangr,  waggs, ‘field, plain,’ are usually regarded as the nearest cognates,  being explained as ‘surface of the face.’ Most of the names for parts of the body have, however, no such origin.   ',, in the phrase , ‘without hesitation,’ âne wanc,  âno wanc;  wanc, , ‘want of stability, fickleness.’ Allied to ', , ‘to totter, vacillate, hesitate,’  from  wanken,  wanchôn, ‘to totter, waver’;   vakka (for *wankân), ‘to totter.’ Connected with  wanchal,  wankel, ‘wavering, fickle’ (hence , , ‘vacillation,’  wankelmuot); allied to.  , and, ‘when,’ from  and  wanne; an old  derivative of the pronominal stem -hwa in.  ,, ‘winnowing fan,’ from the  wanne,  wanna,. As in the case of, it is quite possible that the word was borrowed from (vannus, ‘winnowing fan’). There exists, however, a genuine stem from which  can be derived. winþjan, and the  winnow (from  windwian) point to a  root winþ, ‘to winnow’ ( ventilare), and hence  wanna might stand for *wanþna. In that case the kinship with  vannus (from which  fan is borrowed) would be conceivable. <section end="Wanne" /> <section begin="Wanst" /> ,, ‘paunch, belly,’ from the  wanst (węnst),  wanast (węnist),. A specifically word, which, however, like most of the names for parts of the body (, , and ), is genuine Aryan. It is probably connected with venter, ‘belly,’ but more nearly with  vastí, ‘bladder,’ and vanišṭhú, ‘entrails.’ <section end="Wanst" /> <section begin="Wanze" /> ,, ‘bug,’ from the  wanze,. The word first appeared in the 13th ; in and  the term wantlûs, ‘house-bug,’ is used in the same sense; probably  is an abbreviation of the latter (  with ).
