Weoroeo (Old English) – Geordnung (Modern German)
There is a similarity at the very beginning of the two of them with the two vowels and the sound “r”.
Probably, in time the final vowels of the first word disappeared, while the second word finishes with a velar sound not with a vowel.
The first letter of the first word is bilabial while the first of the second word is velar.
