Etymology
An assumed inheritance supposes a Proto-Indo-European *werǵʰ- (‘to turn, twist, press, constrict, strangle’), but it derives easily in Proto-Slavic *vorgъ, e.g. *izъvьrgnǫti (‘to cast out’), regularly cognate to Latin urgēre and in Germanic *wrekaną (‘to pursue, to persecute’). See also *argaz.
