wääde

• wäre (Moselle Franconian, but in limited use)

From Old High German werdan, from Proto-Germanic *werþaną, from Proto-Indo-European *wértti.

• IPA^(key): /ˈʋɛːdə/

wääde (third-person singular present wird or weed, past tense wurd or wood, past participle wurde or jewurde or jewoode)

1. (Ripuarian) to become
2. (Ripuarian) to be; used with past participles to form the passive voice
3. (Ripuarian) will; shall; used with infinitives to form the future tense (which is rather rare, however)

• The forms weed, wood, jewoode are Kölsch. The forms with -r- are used in virtually all other dialects; they may sometimes be spelt wiëd, wued, (je)wuede, indicating the regular vocalization of pre-dental -r-.
