Summary
The source uses w-n-s, alongside the closely related Arabic ʾ-n-s field, for companionship, familiarity, and affection. It proposes the semantic complex as a comparison for Venus, whose domain includes love and intimate attachment. (المصدر: raw/roman/قراءة_سامية_للميثولوجيا_الرومانية.md)
Attested Forms

Sound Changes
The comparison assumes an initial consonant correspondence between Latin v and Semitic w plus a shared n-s frame, but the source provides no dated intermediary or regular sound law for the full name. (المصدر: raw/roman/قراءة_سامية_للميثولوجيا_الرومانية.md)
Entities Using This Root
The corpus applies the root to Venus and compares her love-and-fertility function with Aphrodite, Astarte, and Ishtar. (المصدر: raw/roman/قراءة_سامية_للميثولوجيا_الرومانية.md)
Semantic Evolution
The proposed movement is from the experience of safe companionship to affection and then to a personified power of love; the marine “companion” gloss is a secondary symbolic extension in the source. (المصدر: raw/roman/قراءة_سامية_للميثولوجيا_الرومانية.md)
