Etymology
From *wora, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *wada (“to be, to appear”). This adverb had been originally used to meant "it appears that someone is (not) doing something". However, the notion has been lost as it was completely integrated to the standard language and acquired the default current meaning of "not". It is similar to aggressive mood in colloquial Finnish (see also Jespersen's cycle). Doublet of ꦮꦺꦴꦤ꧀ꦠꦼꦤ꧀ (wonten). Cognates include Indonesian ada, Aklanon waea', and Tagalog wala.
