"wrītaną" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See wrītaną in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /ˈwriː.tɑ.nɑ̃/
Etymology: Of unclear origin. Kroonen derives the root from a Proto-Indo-European *wreyd-, with no known cognates outside of Germanic. Pokorny and Lehmann suggest that the root is a d-extension of a Proto-Indo-European *wer- (“to cut, scratch”), for which see Old Armenian գիր (gir, “letter; writing”) for more possible cognates. Latin rīma (“cleft, crack”) may also continue this same root.
