Interestingly, in Luwian, we have the following:
- wārsa – water
So.. is Warszawa, a Luwian name?
Curiously, they also have the Sun as tiwaz and the Moon as *armas (the last is a reconstruction). Of course the Vandalic Froia arme means “Lord have mercy” but the arme refers to “mercy” (see also “arm” meaning poor in German).
All of these as per the Swadesh List.
For another Anatolian reference see here for a Lycian > Suavic explanation of Lada.
