Varde

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Baltic *war-, *wer- with an extra -de, from 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 Proto-Indo-European *word-, which also yielded with Old Armenian գորտ (gort).[2]
