Inherited from Varhúsnorsk vęja, from Old Norse vera (Eastern wæʀa)

ǫja (with w- assimilation)

vaja

(transitive, intransitive) to be
1. (transitive, copulative) to be
  k'a (< ęk a) sǿ!
  I'm happy!
2. (intransitive) to exist
used as an auxiliary to form the future
k'aft (< ęk a haft) hýp!
I'll have a puppy!

When used with an adjective, vaja expresses permanent qualities, unlike hava, which expresses temporary qualities.

Both vaja and hava take a nominative object when used as a copula.

The mediopassive forms are rare or colloquial.

The present indicative forms often appear as a(j)-, the active singular present indicative most often appearing as a
