varde
Latvian
Etymology
From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Baltic *war-, *wer- with an extra -de, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *werh₁-, a stem used to form words that imitate human and animal voices (compare vārds (“word, name”)). Cognates include Lithuanian varlė̃ (with a different suffix).[1] A different hypothesis derives it from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *word-, which also yielded with Old Armenian գորտ (gort).[2]
