“was” is under Be.
BE, verb intransitive substantive, participle present tense being; participle passive been.[The sense is to stand, remain or be fixed; hence to continue. This verb is defective, and its defects are supplied by verbs from other roots, as, is, was, were, which have no radical connection with be The case is the same with the substantive verb in most languages.]
1. To be fixed; to exist; to have a real state or existence, for a longer or shorter time.
Let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus. Phil 2:1.
To be contents his natural desire.
From Noah Webster’s American Dictionary of the English Language (1828).
