verre
Dutch
Pronunciation
Adjective
verre
French
Etymology
From Old French voirre most probably pronounced /vwɛr/, from Latin vitrum. Doublet of vitre.
The irregular evolution of /wɛ/ into /ɛ/ in this word is "early but normal after labials"; the influence of derivatives with an etymological first-syllable /ɛ/ may also be relevant. Compare François vs. Français, roide vs. raide.
