To bear through a fluid or bouyant medium; to convey through water or air; as, a balloon was wafted over the channel. Speed the soft intercourse from soul to soul, and waft a sigh from Indus to the pole.

To convey; as ships.

To bouy; to cause to float; to keep from sinking.

To beckon; to give notice by something in motion.

To float; to be moved or to pass in a bouyant medium. And now the shouts waft near the citadel.

A floating body; also, a signal displayed from a ships stern, by hoisting an ensign furled in a roll, to the head of the staff.
