abearv.

Brit. /əˈbɛː/, U.S. /əˈbɛ(ə)r/
Forms: see a- prefix1 and bear v.1; also Old English abera (probably transmission error), Old English æbær (3rd singular past indicative); English regional 1800s abar (Worcestershire), 1800s abeear (Yorkshire), 1800s abere (Shropshire), 1800s– abeer; U.S. regional 1800s abeah (Virginia, in African-American usage).
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Perhaps also partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: a- prefix1, bear v.1
Etymology: In early use < a- prefix1 + bear v.1 In later use in sense 2 perhaps an alteration of bear v.1 by association with abide v. (compare discussion at a- prefix1). With sense 3 compare earlier bear v.1 10 and see discussion at a- prefix1.In Old English a strong verb of Class IV.
Now rare.
