"varvėti" meaning in Lithuanian

See varvėti in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

Forms: varvė́ti [canonical], var̃va [present, third-person], varvė́jo [past, third-person]
Etymology: A denominative verb based off of var̃vas (“drop (of liquid)”), which appears to trace back to a reduplicative formation *wor-wos. The further identity of the reduplicated root is unclear: * Smoczynski takes the formation to be from an o-grade of Proto-Indo-European *wer- (“to watch, notice”), assuming the same semantic shift that characterizes varýti (“to drive out”); thus, "(that which is) driven out" > "droplet". * Otrębski takes the formation to be from Proto-Indo-European *weh₁r- (“water”); compare Avestan 𐬬𐬁𐬭𐬀 (vāra, “rain”), Sanskrit वार् (vār, “water”). * Yakulis is skeptical of Otrebski's derivation morphologically, due to there being no other putative reduplicative descendants of *weh₁r-, and instead considers the formation to be from a Lithuanian-specific series of ideophones, comparing virvė́ti (“to chirp, ring”) and vervė́ti (“to bark obstinately”).
