virti

virti (weak)

1. first-person singular past indicative of virða
2. third-person singular past indicative of virða
3. first-person singular past subjunctive of virða
4. third-person singular past subjunctive of virða

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *wirˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *wer- (“to burn”). Compare Latvian vir̂t (“to boil”), Proto-Slavic *vьrěti (“to boil”), Hittite [script needed] (urāni, “burns”).^[1]

An older theory from Pokorny suggests derivation from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wer- (“water, rain, flow”); see the Latin river Avara.^[2]
