Waft \Waft\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Wafted}; p. pr. & vb. n.
   {Wafting}.] [Prob. originally imp. & p. p. of wave, v. t. See
   {Wave} to waver.]
   1. To give notice to by waving something; to wave the hand
      to; to beckon. [Obs.]

            But soft: who wafts us yonder?        --Shak.

   2. To cause to move or go in a wavy manner, or by the impulse
      of waves, as of water or air; to bear along on a buoyant
      medium; as, a balloon was wafted over the channel.

            A gentle wafting to immortal life.    --Milton.

            Speed the soft intercourse from soul to soul, And
            waft a sigh from Indus to the pole.   --Pope.

   3. To cause to float; to keep from sinking; to buoy. [Obs.]
      --Sir T. Browne.

   Note: This verb is regular; but waft was formerly som?times
         used, as by Shakespeare, instead of wafted.
