The genitive singular is attested in imperial Roman authors; it occurs once in Tacitus (considered dubious by many editors) and multiple times in the legal writing of jurists such as Ulpian. Varro (De Lingua Latina 8.7) may obliquely refer to it when saying that the nominative form is shared with an oblique form ("et recto et obliquo vocabulo vis"). Per Weiss 2009, the etymologically expected genitive singular would be *vīis, which could have been contracted to vīs, but Weiss thinks the genitive singular was more likely an analogical creation on the model turris (n.s.) : turris (g.s.) :: vīs (n.s.) : vīs (g.s.). The plural forms of this noun are often treated as a separate plurale tantum noun, with a distinct meaning of "strength". An analogical nominative/accusative plural vīs is occasionally found, beginning with Lucretius. ===== Declension ===== Third-declension noun (non-neuter pure i-stem or non-neuter i-stem; two different stems). ===== Derived terms ===== ===== Descendants ===== → English: vis, vim === Etymology 2 === From Proto-Indo-European *wéyh₁si, second-person singular present of *wéyh₁ti. This particular form is suppletive, in contrast to the other forms of volō which derive from Proto-Indo-European *welh₁-, with the expected etymological inflection *wels becoming vel (“or; and/or”). ==== Verb ==== vīs second-person singular present active indicative of volō ===== Usage notes ===== The verb nōlō originally had the equivalent form nevīs, but it fell out of use in favour of nōn vīs by the Classical period. ===== Derived terms ===== quantusvīs sī vīs quīvīs === References === === Further reading === “vis”, in Charlton T.
