voras
- present of vori
Latin[edit]
Verb[edit]
vorās
Lithuanian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Cognate with Latvian vâris (“spider”). Further etymology unclear.
- Smoczyński proposed a connection with Lithuanian vérti (“to thread, to string”), although this is disputed by Witzcak due to unexplained phonological changes.
- Another theory is that it is connected to Latin vārus (“bow-legged”), Latin vāricus (“with feet spread apart”), as spiders have inwardly curved legs that are spaced apart.
