verber

Danish
Noun
verber n
- indefinite plural of verbum
Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Italic *wer(β/b)os, from Proto-Indo-European *werb(h)-os, from Proto-Indo-European *werb(h)-. Perhaps related to Lithuanian vir̃bas (“rod, twig, cane”), Proto-Slavic *vьrba (“willow”).[1] According to Adams, the term may derive from the same root *werbʰ- (“to enclose”), whence also Tocharian B wārp- (“to surround”),[2] though Kloekhorst considers the Latin cognates to be semantically distant.[3]
