Yes. Lexicon der Indogermanischen Verbum lists h_2werg, `sich umdrehen,
sich wenden' (quoting Latin uergere as the evidence for intransitive
meaning, and Hittite for h_2 so that Greek e as due to assimilation),
with finite verb forms in Sans (though the meaning changes to `turn away
from' => avoid for the most part in Classical Sans), Greek and Latin,
and a participle in Toch A.
