Adverb [Lithuanian]

IPA: /ʋʲeːlʲ/ Forms: vė̃l [canonical]
Etymology: Of uncertain origin. Smoczynski tentatively takes the word as coming from the same origin as vėlùs (“late”), but doesn't trace the words' origin further back. Buck derives the word either from Proto-Indo-European *welH- (“to turn, roll, wind”) or its Lithuanian descendant vélti (“to full cloth”), noting that various Indo-European branches derive words meaning "again" from a root meaning "to turn back", via a series of shifts "(to turn) back" > "back again" > "again". For such a development, compare Italian volta (“time, occasion”), derived from Latin volvō (“to roll, tumble”). Another theory takes the word as possibly from Proto-Indo-European *-wē (“or”). Compare Latin vel (“or, even, and, either”) (-ve), Sanskrit वा (vā, “or”), and Ancient Greek ἤ (ḗ).
