- Based on the different gradations in descendants, this word likely exhibited ablaut between the stems *wérdʰh₁- ~ *wordʰh₁- ~ *wr̥dʰh₁-; however, it has been thematicized in all descendants and so the particular declension type may be unreconstructible.
- It is possible that Latin verbum actually reflects the zero-grade or o-grade, if it underwent an early shift *vor- > ver-,[2] in which case the e-grade would be unrepresented (unless Umbrian 𐌖𐌄𐌓𐌚𐌀𐌋𐌄 (uerfale, “temple”) is a valid descendant).
Descendants edit
- Proto-Balto-Slavic: *wardas (from the o-grade *wordʰh₁om)
- Proto-Balto-Slavic: *wirdas (from the zero-grade *wr̥dʰh₁om)
- Proto-Germanic: *wurdą (from the zero-grade *wr̥dʰh₁om[3]) (see there for further descendants)
- Proto-Italic: *werβom (see there for further descendants)
