virya-

verb. to change [self], alternate

An intransitive verb meaning “change [self], alternate” based on the root √WIS “change” (PE17/189, 191). For change of others, use transitive vista-.

One form of this word, wirnë (PE17/191), is unclear in function. It is glossed “change” and could be a noun. However, it almost identical in form to the strong-past virne of virya- attested on PE17/189. It seems likelier to me that this is the archaic form of the strong-past tense from before the change of ✶*w-* to *v-*.

Evidence elsewhere suggests the noun form of “change” is vistë; see that entry for discussion.

vistë Reconstructed

noun. change

This word is unattested, but there is indirect evidence for it as an element of walwistë “change of mind” (PE17/189). This word likely contains the archaic form †wistë from before the change of *w-* to *v-*. Its modern form would be ✱vistë. If you accept inwist- as the stem form of inwis “change of mind”, it likely contains †wistë as well.

There is another attested word wirnë with the gloss “change” (PE17/191), but I think it is likelier to be the archaic form of the strong-past tense of the verb virya- instead of a noun.
