Varde
Etymology
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]
