Request to undelete Reconstruction:Latin/voleo and Reconstruction:Latin/volere. They are linked from many etymology sections, and are a key link in understanding the derivation of forms such as Italian voglio, volere from Latin volo, velle. They were deleted by Rua as "duplicates" of the attested Classical forms, which is a weak reason to summarily delete an entry. This, that and the other (talk) 03:42, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- @This, that and the other I undeleted them. Benwing2 (talk) 18:19, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. I don't think there is any controversy here so I'll strike this section. This, that and the other (talk) 02:15, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Attested
editAugustine attests the verbal noun genitive form as volendī. https://latin.stackexchange.com/questions/11279/was-there-ever-a-difference-between-volo-and-volo Kwékwlos (talk) 00:32, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- Dubious. With all due respect to the TLFi, volendi does not confirm *volēre over *volĕre, or even any significant change from velle, as nothing has been replaced (the verb did not have a gerund in CL, so one was later supplied).
- That said, I will try to see if there are actual attestations of *volēre. You'd think there would be for a verb with such a common meaning. Nicodene (talk) 01:11, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
