In most cases the same as German preposition wider (“against, versus”). In some compounds, rather wieder (“again”). Possibly also weder (“either, neither, whether”).

    Vedermöda, vederlägga och vedergälla är vedertagna ord som kan verka vederkvickande vid vederbörlig användning. Vedervärdig och vederstygglig är i ymnigt bruk, vilket knappast längre kan sägas om vederfara, vedervåga och vedermäle.
