FromProto-Indo-European*wéyh₁si, second-person singular present of*wéyh₁ti. This particular form is suppletive, in contrast to the other forms ofvolō, which derive fromProto-Indo-European*welh₁-. (Proto-Italic*wels became a separate word (vel(“or, and/or”), to be specific) in Latin.)

The verbnōlle originally had the formnēvīs for the second person singular present indicative active. However, that form was rendered obsolete along withnēvolt andnōltis, rendering it defective; for the second person singular in particular,vīs is used instead with the particlenōn.
