verbWeak class 2to sway, to waverAccording to Kroonen, a nasal-infixed derivative from the verb *weganą (‘to move’). Orel prefers a connection to *wenkjanana, which he derives from Proto-Indo-European *weng- (‘to bow, bend’), and compares to Sanskrit वङ्गति (vaṅgati, ‘to limp, walk’), Lithuanian véngti (‘to swerve, avoid’).
