"hvis" meaning in Norwegian Bokmål

See hvis in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Conjunction

Etymology: From Middle Low German wes, genitive of wat (“what”). The Low German genitive was often used in subject or object function in the sense of “that which” or “whatever.” For example: Wes deme koninge dunket got, dat is billich dat men also dot. (“Whatever seems good to the king, it is appropriate that one does so.”) Since such a phrase can easily be reinterpreted as “if it seems good to the king”, the Scandinavian conjunction may have developed from this usage.
