Etymology: Mostly connected with a root for `to bind, hang on, strick' in Balto-Slavic, e. g. Lith. virvė̃ `strick', OCS obora (\< ob-vora) `strick'. The best connection is Alb. vjer `hang up'. [Note that in Dutch ophangen is a very frequent combination.] With su̯- Lith. sveriú, sver̃ti `to weigh' etc. - Solmsen Untersuchungen 289ff. separated it from ἀείρω 1. `raise', DELG tends to consider the second as a specialization of the first (extensive discussion).
