Usage notes edit
Nōn velle is used in place of nōlle in the second person present indicative active forms and the third person singular present indicative active.
Conjugation edit
Its present infinitive, velle, descends from the athematic infinitive form Proto-Italic *wel-zi (*-zi being the source of the usual infinitive ending -re as well). The second person singular present form vīs is suppletive and belongs to the root Proto-Indo-European *weyh₁- (“to strive after, pursue”); the original form appears to be preserved as the conjunction vel (from Proto-Italic *wel-s).
