1) Vi (वि):—1. vi m. ([nominative case] vis or ves [accusative] vim [genitive case] [ablative] ves; [plural] [nominative case] [accusative] vayas [acc. vīn, [Bhaṭṭi-kāvya]]; vibhis, vibhyas, vīnām) a bird (also applied to horses, arrows, and the Maruts), [Ṛg-veda; Vājasaneyi-saṃhitā; Pañcaviṃśa-brāhmaṇa,] (also occurring in later language).

2) cf. 1. vayas; [Greek] οἰωνός for ὀϝιωνος; [Latin] a-vis; [according to] to some [German] Ei; [Anglo-Saxon] aég; [English] egg.

3) 2. vi n. an artificial word said to be = anna, [Śatapatha-brāhmaṇa]

4) 3. vi ind. ([probably] for an original dvi, meaning ‘in two parts’; and opp. to sam q.v.) apart, asunder, in different directions, to and fro, about, away, away from, off, without, [Ṛg-veda] etc. etc. In, [Ṛg-veda] it appears also as a [preposition] with [accusative] denoting ‘through’ or ‘between’ (with ellipse of the verb, [e.g. i, 181, 5; x, 86, 20 etc.]) It is [especially] used as a prefix to verbs or nouns and other parts of speech derived from verbs, to express ‘division’, ‘distinction’, ‘distribution’, ‘arrangement’, ‘order’, ‘opposition’, or ‘deliberation’ (cf. vi-√bhid, -śiṣ, -dhā, -rudh, -car, with their nominal derivatives)

5) sometimes it gives a meaning opposite to the idea contained in the simple root (e.g. √krī, ‘to buy’; vi-√krī, ‘to sell’), or it intensifies that idea (e.g.√hiṃs, ‘to injure’; vi-√hiṃs, ‘to injure severely’). The above 3. vi may also be used in forming compounds not immediately referable to verbs, in which cases it may express ‘difference’ (cf. 1. vi-lakṣaṇa), ‘change’ or ‘variety’ (cf. vi-citra), ‘intensity’ (cf. vi-karāla), ‘manifoldness’ (cf. vi-vidha), ‘contrariety’ (cf. vi-loma), ‘deviation from right’ (cf. vi-śīla), ‘negation’ or ‘privation’ (cf. vi-kaccha, being often used like 3. a, nir, and nis [qq. vv.], and like the [Latin] dis, se, and the English a, dis, in, un etc.)

6) in some cases it does not seem to modify the meaning of the simple word at all (cf. vi-jāmi, vi-jāmātṛ)

7) it is also used to form proper names out of other proper names (e.g. vi-koka, vi-pṛthu, vi-viṃśa). To save space such words are here mostly collected under one article
