sometimes

 Old Kerk
Etymology
PKS *irə-kwə:
*irə "time, instant"; cf.  Old Kerk: ayvir,  Old Kerk: ułir
*-kwə, unknown meaning, perhaps indicating rarity, hence *irə-kwə "sometimes" > "uncommonly" > "never"
Notes
Meaning switches between "sometimes" and "never" depending on the polarity of the verb (affirmative = "sometimes", negative = "never").
