wes-¹

PIE base ‘to remain, abide, dwell, live’.  See also bheuə, PIE root of ‘be’, and es, PIE root of ‘is’.

Also root of Swedish vara ‘to be’, Old Persian vahanam ‘house’, and Sanskrit vásati ‘he dwells’.

[Pokorny u̯es, pp. 1170–1171.]

was

Was is included in the Glossary to provide a reasonably complete view of the most irregular verb in the English language: ‘to be’, of central importance in the search for the Truth, as an essay titled ‘Being and Truth: An Etymological Study’ from 2011 illustrates.

By realizing Isness or Beingness, we can thus return Home, as Sanskrit and Persian words that have evolved from the PIE base *wes-¹ indicates.
