Estonian Etymology
editMy source gives the etymology as "algskandinaavia *warjōn", and "algskandinaavia" translates to something like "pre-scandinavian", or "beginning scandinavian". I presume this is Proto-Norse. However, Proto-Norse is attested, while this is a reconstructed term. For this root, the Proto-Germanic is "*warjaną", and the Old Norse is "verja".
If this is Proto-Norse though, what would the Futhark of "*warjōn" look like? I got "ᚹᚨᚱᛃᛟᚾ", but is that correct?

Rfv-sense "(rare) shadow". Can't find any evidence of this; maybe it's some rare dialectal form — surjection ⟨??⟩ 13:12, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

- If it is attestable, it needs to be put under a separate etymology section, as it is certainly from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 291: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "fiu-fin-pro" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. (and thus a doublet of varjo), not a loanword from Russian. —Mahāgaja · talk 14:53, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
