449. uer VI = speak (JS-438).

This IE root which gave rise to Greek rhetor, Latin verbum, Anglo-Saxon word, English verb, adverb, proverb, word, wording, byword, is fused with DR. seed-words such as ore = word, to speak, say, utter, sound, relate (648-Ka); urai = word, speaking, utterance, to speak, sound, tell (Ta); ura = word (Ma); arai = word, sound. reply, to speak, sound (319-Ta); uyir = to say, declare (645-Ta); erye = to speak with fluency (786-Malt); veR = to speak (5514-Konda).

Note that another similar Indo-European root is u(e)rad = root, branch (JS-438), and that it is fused with Dravidian seed-words ver = root (5535- Go; Ma; Nk;Ta); var = root (Pa); veru = root (Te). Note that the derived Latin word ramus = branch, and that in DR. rembe = branch (5170-Ka).

450. ugu, ud = moist, sprinkle (JS-441).

The DR. seed-words with which this IE root is fused are uggu = to throw [[sprinkle]] as water (1010-Ka); ugguni = to spurt (Tu); uggelu = a well (Tu); ogi = to pour (562-Kor); ugipu = to pour, shed, spill (Tu). Inasmuch as steam is vapor of water, note also uga = steam, vapor (568-Ka); uge = steam (Tu).

The root ud to which Latin udus = wet is ascribed also has its DR. seed-words. For instance, ud- = to become wet, be soaked (743-Konda); ud- = to become wet (Pe); ud- = to get wet (Mand); ud = to become wet, damp (Kuwi); odde = moisture, wetness, dampness, wet (1047-Ka); vedde = moist, wet (Tu). Note also that Latin ulgio denotes: moisture, wetness (Ltc-621), and that in DR. oluku = to flow, leak, trickling down (1010-Ta); olukku = flowing, leaking, dripping (Ta); olukku = current, stream, (Ma); olikka = to pour (Ma); olku = to flow, torrent or strong current of a stream (Ka).

Another Indo-European root uer VII also denotes water (JS-438), and JS points out here that it is fused with the below noted root au(e). This root uer VII has its DR. seed-words such as uru = water, to spring, flow (as water in a well), ooze, soak, be steeped, (761-Ta); uru = to spring as water, ooze, leak out, be soaked, steeped (Ka); ore = to ooze, ooze out, spring, drip (Ka); orbe = to fall in showers (Malt); ur- = to leak, drip (Nk); uru = to spring, ooze, exude, leak out, be soaked, steeped, become moist with oozing water (Te); urr = fountain, spring (Ma). JS points out that Greek words urea, ureta, urethra, uretic, uric (acid, oxide), etc., and Latin words such as urinary, urine, and others such as urogenital, urology, uropoietic, and many more beginning with the element ur are derived from this root uer VII. This is correct because ur is also there in the DR. seed-words urk- = to urinate (696-Go); urk, or, urkul, or urkle, urkulu = urine (Go).
