Usage notes

After the adoption of the word by the Akademio in 1913-14, it didn't see much use. Those that actually used the word, didn't seem to use it correctly either. They recommended just using the exclusive for both (i.e. od and o), and by the following year, they proposed to annul the adoption. If they actually officially annulled the word is unknown.

  • od, o

Latin

Alternative forms

  • ? (abbreviation)
  • ? (abbreviation)

Etymology

From earlier *well, from *wels, from *welsi (you wish), thus originally the second-person singular present active indicative form of vol? (I will, I wish). The semantic development may have been helped by the fortuitous similarity to -ve.

Pronunciation

  • (Classical) IPA(key): /u?el/, [u????]
  • (Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /vel/, [v?l]

Latvian

Verb

vel

  1. 2nd person singular present indicative form of velt
  2. 2nd person singular imperative form of velt

Livonian

Etymology

Compare Estonian veel, Latvian v?l (more, else, yet). According to Karulis, Latvian v?l is an inherited word cognate with v?ls (late), thus perhaps an old Baltic borrowing in Finnic languages; this is supported by EES. Its use before jo, juo forming comparatives of adjectives could be a more recent calque, cf., Latvian lab?k (better)v?l jo lab?k (the better, even better).

Pronunciation
