/ˈvai̯en/, [ˈvɑɪ̯.ən]
HierkonftFrom Middle High German wigen, north-western variant of wegen with generalisation of the -i- of the present singular forms, from Old High German wegan, from Proto-West Germanic *wegan.
Cognate with German wiegen, Dutch wegen, English weigh, Danish veje, Icelandic vega. The Luxembourgish verb developed regularly as wigen > *wīen > weien. As still in leien, the original conjugation must have been weien, *wäit, *geweeën; but the forms were adapted by analogy with such verbs as dreiwen, dreift, gedriwwen.
