What are some spanish to English cognates that start with w?
The letter W is not used in true Spanish words. Most English
words that contain W are related to German.
In a publication in Spanish, W will show in proper names like
Washington, just as vowels with written accents might be used in
English context in a place name like Chichén Itzá. But Chichén Itzá
is not an English word, and Washington is not a Spanish word.
