Old English. Not in any of the sources I checked. The user in general seems a bit clueless. &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 06:15, 22 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Not sure why you said that but I did not make anything up, the Old English form was already on the wiki for war, I just put it directly for more (useful) information. Nightcore8365 (talk) 22:57, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Which wiki? The Old English wiki is not a reliable source. Benwing2 (talk) 06:39, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * en.wiktionary.org, entry, possibly influenced by etymonline.com
 * OED says "Late Old English (c1050) wyrre, werre"; one cite for each spelling is provided from the . MED skips the Old English etymon entirely and also includes the "Peterb.Chron." quotes in its own entry. This, that and the other (talk) 10:02, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * This entry seems legit enough, but @Nightcore8365 what reason did you have for not just creating the entry with a single definition line:
 * war
 * ? Since the term itself is very late and very rare, having four senses seems unworkable. This, that and the other (talk) 11:22, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
