vis-vim !=3D fortis-fortia !=3D energia !=3D action

vita =3D life
vit =3D live
vid =3D wit
via =3D way
veh =3D weih
veg =3D wey
vend =3D wend
vir =3D wer
viper =3D wyver
viere =3D wryon
=3D> vi =3D w[r]y; however, for Vulgaris, I would call "vis" "driva" as in
"dwriva". "vim impressa" would be "heft"; "vim mortua" would be
"weiht"; "vim viva" would be "drift".
