East Germanic, as a rule. I have just discovered (in the supplement
to Bosworth & Toller's dictionary) OE gewerian with the meaning 'make
a treaty, come to an agreement (or, shall I say, <dogovor>)'. This is
the closest match I've been able to find so far, and the (alas,
purely hypothetical) East Germanic equivalent would have been
*gawarjan.

Don't forget <gotov> from the long discussion of Germanic *tau-jan.
