Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Italic *wezor (stem *wezn-), from Proto-Indo-European *wósr? (“spring”). The original Italic form gave *veror, genitive *v?nis, with -s- lost before -n- with lengthening of the preceding vowel, as is usual in Latin. The -n- of the genitive stem was then replaced by the -r- of the nominative, and the genitive stem was then extended back to the nominative.
Cognate with Ancient Greek ??? (éar), Old Norse vár, Lithuanian vasara, Sanskrit ???? (vasar, “morning”) and ????? (vasantá, “spring”), Persian ????? (bahâr, “spring”), Old Armenian ?????? (garun), and Russian ?????? (vesná).

Usage notes
After the adoption of the word by the Akademio in 1913-14, it didn't see much use. Those that actually used the word, didn't seem to use it correctly either. They recommended just using the exclusive for both (i.e. od and o), and by the following year, they proposed to annul the adoption. If they actually officially annulled the word is unknown.

Livonian
Etymology
Compare Estonian veel, Latvian v?l (“more, else, yet”). According to Karulis, Latvian v?l is an inherited word cognate with v?ls (“late”), thus perhaps an old Baltic borrowing in Finnic languages; this is supported by EES. Its use before jo, juo forming comparatives of adjectives could be a more recent calque, cf., Latvian lab?k (“better”) — v?l jo lab?k (“the better, even better”).
