Pronunciation: [wˈɜːt wɪðˌɪn vjˈuː] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "wert within view" may seem confusing at first glance, but it is actually a contraction of "were it within view." The pronunciation of this phrase in IPA phonetic transcription would be /wɜr ɪt wɪðɪn vju/. The contraction replaces the "e" in "were" with an apostrophe and combines the two words into one. This is a common practice in English to make speech and writing more efficient.
"Wert within view" is a phrase that combines obsolete and archaic terms, and can be defined as follows:
"Wert" is the second person singular past tense of the verb "to be" in the subjunctive mood. It is derived from Old English and is typically used in formal or poetic language. It signifies the action or state of existing or happening in the past.
"Within" is a preposition that denotes being inside or enclosed by something. It indicates a spatial or temporal relationship, suggesting proximity or a limited scope of an object or event.
"View" refers to the act of seeing, perceiving, or observing something. It encompasses the sense of sight, comprehension, or visual examination. However, in the context of the phrase "wert within view," it specifically implies being within the line of sight or in the immediate visual range of something or someone. It suggests that an object, person, or subject is nearby and can be directly witnessed or encountered.
When combined, the phrase "wert within view" suggests that an object or subject being referred to had once existed or occurred in the past, and it existed or occurred in close proximity to the speaker or the subject in question. However, it should be noted that this phrase employs outdated language and is rarely used in contemporary English conversation or writing.
