orba

• vorba (rare, with v-prothesis)

Derived from Czech verb orat (“to plough”), which is derived from Proto-Slavic *orati, +‎ -ba. This is related to Lithuanian árti, Gothic 𐌰𐍂𐌾𐌰𐌽 (arjan), Middle High German erran, Latin arāre (all of them meaning "to plough"), Old Irish airim (“I plough”), Ancient Greek ἀρόω (aróō, “I plough”), Armenian արաւր (arawr, “a plough”), and Tocharian A and Tocharian B āre (“a plough”). All of these come from Proto-Indo-European *h₂erh₃- (“to plough”).^[1]
