wotv.

Brit. /wɒt/, U.S. /wɑt/
Forms: (see below).
Etymology: variant of wit v.1, due to the carrying over of the preterite-present stem wǭt (earlier and northern wāt) into other parts of the verb. The substitution occurs first in the 2nd person singular (wāt, wǭt for wāst, wǭst) and the plural (for wĭten) of the present tense, and appears in northern texts from the end of the 13th century. In the 14th cent. the new forms wotest and woteth (wotis) appear. The infinitive woten occurs early in the 15th cent., and wotte, wote, wot in the 16th, together with the present participle wotting. The past tense wotted is an archaism of the 19th cent.
archaic.
transitive and intransitive. To know. Frequently const. with of. (See wit v.1)
1. 2nd person singular present indicative αnorthern and ScottishMiddle English wat, Middle English–1500s wate, (Middle English whate, quat, vat), 1500s wait, ( vait). βMiddle English whote, Middle English woot, wot.
