Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1162] *u̯erh₁-, u̯r̥h₁- `speak (officially)'

Etymology: With exception of isolated (Ϝ)είρω (on the digamma Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 136), which is an innovation to (Ϝ)ερέ-[σ]ω after κτεν-έ[σ]ω: κτείνω (cf. also Hitt. u̯erii̯a- below; aoristic εἶρεν [B.] after κτεῖνεν?), all forms are from disyllabic (Ϝ)ερε- and (Ϝ)ρη-; the first in the future, the latter in the perfect ( Ϝέ-Ϝρη-μαι etc.; Schwyzer 649), the passive aorist and the verbal nouns. - Cf. Hitt. Jotpresent u̯erii̯a- `call, name, order' (= (Ϝ)είρω, s. above), with the particle for the direct speech - wa(r)- prop. `said (he)'; also the Russ. deverbat. vrú, vrátь `lie, talk rot' (\< *vьrǫ, * vьrati) has been connected. Of the nouns compare Av. urvāta- n. `pronouncement, order', (IE *u̯reh₁-to-?). With (unexplained) short vowel Av. urvata- n. = Skt. vratá- n. `id.', IE *u̯re\/ o-to- (?), Russ. etc. rotá `oath', IE. *u̯ro-tā (?); monosyllabic with old dh-enlargement Lat. verbum, Lith. var̃das `name', Goth. waúrd `word'. Very doubtful is (on a wrong place, after ἔραχος, given ἔρθει φθέγγεται H. (not to verbum, which would give *ἐρεθ-) - S. also εἴρων.
