My guess is the original accents that it was spoken with.
Pronunciation: wnt; New England, upstate NY, nPa wnt, wnt; greater NYC wünt; eSC wünt, wnt
Date: 1608
: will not
I think amn't would be nice for I am not.

"amn't" is not uncommon in rural South Wales, and I use it myself sometimes. It's funny though, I'd never write it that way.
And I always say "hisself" and "theirselves" - I don't know if that's my mother's Wiltshire background, or my current Welsh surroundings - the forms seem common to both, and frankly a whole lot more logical.

Ohhh an 'accent'- that makes sense. Its an abbr. of "Woll Nut"
I kept trying to somehow make 'woe naught' work in my mind.
