How Do You Spell WAST ABOVE?
Pronunciation: [wɒst əbˈʌv] (IPA) 
The spelling of "wast above" may seem unusual to some, but it is a correct archaic form of "was above." The word "wast" is the second person singular past tense of "be" in Middle English. The "a" in "above" is pronounced as a long "o" sound, represented in IPA phonetic transcription as /əˈbʌv/. Although this spelling is no longer commonly used today, it can still be found in some literary works as a way to reflect a specific time period or style.
