Exempel på hur man kan använda WETHER i en mening

• The name derives from the Old Norse words veðr ("wether, castrated male sheep", in its genitive singular form veðrar) and bý ("farmstead, village").
• By comparison, the equivalent term for castrated male cattle would be steer (or bullock), and wether for sheep and goats.
• Whole carcases of wether mutton are boiled in a cauldron for five or six hours with salt and a little water; the meat is then put up in terracotta jars with more salt and sealed with the mutton-fat.
• The name of Wedderburn was given to the area by John Turnbull Thomson, and is one of the names in his infamous "Thomson's Barnyard", wedder being Northumbrian dialect form of the word wether, meaning a castrated sheep.
• Thus, leather = German Leder, brother = Bruder, whether = weder, wether = Widder, pointing to original /ð/ in English; weather = German Wetter, father = Vater, mother = Mutter pointing to original /d/.
• Merriweather is a surname deriving from the Middle English merie, meaning 'merry pleasant' and wether, meaning weather.
