werþ
Werþ is a word found in Old English, a Germanic language spoken in England from roughly the 5th to the 12th century. Its meaning is closely related to the modern English word "worth." In Old English, "werþ" functioned primarily as an adjective and a noun, expressing value, price, or dignity. As an adjective, it could describe something as valuable, deserving, or important. For instance, one might speak of a "werþ mann" (a worthy man) or a "werþ stede" (a worthy place).
As a noun, "werþ" referred to the concept of value itself, the price or merit of something.
