Interesting, Björn! In my language 'whet' is called 'hvæsse'. It is common that 'hv' became 'wh' in England around AD 800 when the Danish vikings came there : 'whale' means 'hval', 'what' means 'hvad', 'wheat' means 'hvede', 'when' means 'hvornår', 'where' means 'hvor', 'which' means 'hvilken', 'while' is related to 'hvile' meaning rest, 'whirl' means 'hvivle', 'whisper' means 'hviske', 'whistle' means 'hvisle', 'white' means 'hvid', 'who' means 'hvo', 'whom' means 'hvem', 'whose' means 'hvis'.
