War  and  warm; corresponding to,  and  warm,  *warms ( warmjan, ‘to warm’). A common  based on the Aryan root war, ‘to be hot.’   varŭ, ‘heat,’ with vrěti, ‘to boil, be hot,’ vrŭlŭ, ‘passionate’;  vìrti, ‘to boil.’ The  cognates have, with less reason, been compared with  gharmá, ‘heat of fire, glare of the sun,’ and  θερμός,  formus, ‘warm.’ ,, ‘to warn, admonish,’ from warnen, ‘to watch over, protect,’  warnen (węrnen), ‘to deny, refuse, decline.’ Corresponding to  węrnian, ‘to decline, withhold.’  wyrnan,  warn,  varna, ‘to refuse.’ On account of the meaning the connection with  warnôn (see ) is dubious; undoubted cognates have not yet been found.  ,, ‘warder,’ from and  wart, ‘warder, keeper,’ which appears only as the second component of compounds. —   ,, ‘watch-tower, belfry,’ from warte,  warta, , ‘reconnoitring, ambush.’ —  ,, ‘to wait, await, stay,’ from warten,  wartên, ‘to spy, lurk, expect.’   wardôn,‘to be on one’s guard, look after,’  weardian, ‘to guard, keep,’  to ward,  varða, ‘to watch over, protect’ (also  -wards, ‘keeper,’ in compounds). From are borrowed  guardare and  garder, ‘to guard.’ Hence the primary meaning of the cognates is ‘to look after or take charge of some one,’ and so they are undoubtedly connected with the root of.  , suffix in compounds, e.g.,, from and  -wërtes (ûfwërtes, ‘upwards’); properly an  genit. of and  -wërt ( and  ûfwërt,, ‘upwards’). The latter word is used as an in, but is now represented by  ( and  -wërtic);   inwërt,  ‘internal,’  andwairþs, , ‘present.’ The word is never used independently; since it forms local  in the sense of ‘existing,’ some are inclined to connect it with , ‘to arise.’  ,, ‘why, for what reason,’ from and late  warumbe (in earlier  hwanta). The first part of the word seems to be the wara, ‘whither,’ which is derived from hwa- (see ).  , see.   ,, ‘wart, teat,’ from the  warze,  warza, ; corresponding to  *wartô,  varta,  wearte,  wart, and the   wrat. The early history of wartô- (from Aryan wardô-) is uncertain; some connect it with the Aryan root wrd, ‘to grow,’ from which  is derived, and regard  as ‘excrescence’ (  vrědŭ, ‘eruption’). Others prefer to compare it with wearre, ‘weal,’  verrûca, ‘wart,’ the rr of which may have arisen by the loss of an intermediate dental.  , of, ‘what’;   and  waȥ (from hwaȥ);   what. Corresponding to quod,  kad. ,, ‘to wash,’ from the  waschen (węschen),  wascan,  ;   wasschen,  wasčan,  to wash,  vaska ( *waskan), ‘to wash.’ The sk of the old forms was  only a part of the present stem, but was afterwards joined to the base; it may have been preceded by a dental. *watska- probably based on the nominal stem wat, ‘water’ (see );   usce, ‘water’  faiscim,  gwasgu, ‘I press,’ may, however, with equal reason, be connected with.  ,, see.   ,, ‘sod, turf, grass,’ from wase,  waso, , ‘sward, damp soil or mound’; also  wasal, , ‘damp mound.’ The word is identical with , just as  with  to speak;   węččęan, wręččęan, ‘to awake,’ and  wrîxl with. Hence there existed Aryan roots with and without r; we must therefore regard wraso, waso, as the base; for the area of diffusion see. From is derived  gazon, ‘sward.’   ,, ‘water,’ from the  waȥȥer,  waȥȥar;   watar,  water,  wœter,  water; beside these West  forms in r (watar-o-) are found the forms in n,  watô,  vatn, , ‘water.’ The root wat is related by gradation to ut in , and to wêt in  wœ̂t,  wet, North  wiat, ‘damp, wet.’ The other Aryan languages have also corresponding graded forms with the same signification; Aryan ud in  ὕδωρ ( unda?),  voda,  udán, ‘water, billow,’ udrín, ‘abounding in water, <section end="Wasser" />
