chwarae

== Welsh == === Alternative forms === gwarwy, gwary === Etymology === From Middle Welsh chwarae, from Proto-Brythonic *gwarrɨɣ, *gwėrɨɣ, from Proto-Celtic *uɸorigeti (“to delay”), from *uɸo- (“sub-”) + *rigeti (“to bind”). Cognate with Breton c'hoari, Cornish gwari, Irish fuirigh (“to wait”), Manx fuirree (“to wait”), and Scottish Gaelic fuirich (“to stay”). VGK suggests Proto-Celtic *worigo-, related to Irish fuirech (*fo-rig), second element possibly related to *regeti (“to stretch, straighten”)). === Pronunciation === (North Wales, standard) IPA(key): /ˈχwaraɨ̯/ (North Wales, colloquial) IPA(key): /ˈχwarɛ/, /ˈχwara/ (South Wales, standard) IPA(key): /ˈχwa(ː)rai̯/ (South Wales, colloquial) IPA(key): /ˈχwa(ː)rɛ/, /ˈʍa(ː)rɛ/, /ˈwa(ː)rɛ/ Rhymes: -araɨ̯ === Verb === chwarae (first-person singular present chwaraeaf, not mutable) to play to play, or perform with, a percussive instrument such as a drum.
