vézna “thin, slight”<br />

*wäćkз “narrow, thin”<br />

*wäńćз, *wäćз “narrow, thin”<br />

sig (343x: ED IIIa, ED IIIb, Old Akkadian, Lagash II, Ur III, Old Babylonian,<br />

1st millennium) wr. sig “(to be) weak; (to be) low; (to be) thin; (to be) narrow”,<br />

gig (313x: ED IIIb, Old Akkadian, Ur III, Old Babylonian, unknown) wr. gig<br />

“to be) sick”<br />

vigyázni “to pay attention, to beware, to look out”<br />

*wića- “to notice, to see”<br />

igi sig (8x: Old Babylonian) wr. igi sig10 “to see”<br />

világ “light; world”, villám “lightening”, villanni “to flash, to sparkle, to<br />

twinkle”, villogni “to sparkle, to twinkle”,<br />

*walkз(-) “light, white; to light”, *wal’з- “to shine”<br />

bil (50x: Ur III, Old Babylonian) wr. bil2; bil3; bil “to burn”<br />

virág “flower”, virítani “to bloom”, virradni “to dawn”, virrasztani “to<br />

stay awake”<br />

bur (78x: ED IIIa, Old Akkadian, Ur III) wr. bur2; bu7 “light; to glow, shine”.<br />

According to EWU (pp. 1640ss.), the word-families vir- and vil- (cf. világ)<br />

belong together (but not the family virr-). The Sum. word bur, however, shows<br />

that this is not correct, the dark stem vowel u is even apparent in the ending –<br />

ani instead of –eni in virítani as well as in virradni instead of *virredni.<br />

arāqum “to bloom” < *warāqum, but unlike in the case of Hung. vese (s.v.),<br />

*w- < b-, not < g-.<br />

vinni, visz- “to carry, to bring, to take”<br />

*wiγegaĝ<br />

(538x: Ur III) wr. gaĝx(IL2); ga-aĝ3 “to carry”. Same etymology as venni<br />

(s.v.).<br />

vívni “to fight”<br />

*woje- “to be able to”<br />

u (1x: Old Babylonian) wr. u8; u2 “defeat”<br />

víz “water”<br />

*wete<br />

biz (12x: Old Babylonian) wr. bi-iz; biz “to trickle, drip”<br />

başāşum (< Sum. biz). In this case, we can say from the palatal stem vowel<br />

both in Hung. víz (acc. vizet, not *vizot or *vizat) and Sum. biz that this word<br />

originates directly in Sum. and not in the Sum. borrowing Akk., Rhaet.<br />

başāşum, which shows a velar stem-vowel. Also PIE *wodor/*wedor/ *uder-,<br />

from root *wed- (cf. Hittite watar, Sanskrit udnah, Greek hydor, Old<br />

Bulgarian, Russian voda, Lithuanian vanduo, Old Prussian. wundan, Gaelic<br />

uisge “water”, Latin unda “wave” originate in Sum. biz and thus also<br />

genetically related to Hung. víz.<br />
