In composition, n regularly becomes assimilated to a foll. l, m, or r, and is changed before the labials into m: illabor, immitto, irrumpo, imbibo, impello.—As to its meaning, according as it is connected with a verb of rest or motion, it conveys the idea of existence in a place or thing, or of motion, direction, or inclination into or to a place or thing: inesse; inhibere, inferre, impellere, etc. See Hand, Turs. III. pp. 243- 356.

nĭ-sĭ (archaic forms nisei and nise, Lex Rubria, v. Ritschl, Legis Rubriae pars superstes, Bonnae, 1851, and Rhein. Mus. tom. 8, p. 448 sq.), conj., if not, unless.

Ov. M. 3, 676; 1, 635:

P. Claudius cum proelium navale committere vellet,

id. Poen. prol. 50:

uti tamen tuo consilio volui,

still I concluded to follow your advice, Cic. Att. 8, 3, 1.—

To be willing, ready, to consent, like to do something: si sine bello velint rapta... tradere... se exercitum domum reducturum, if they were willing, would consent to, would deliver, etc., Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 52:

To do something voluntarily or intentionally: volo facere = mea voluntate or sponte facio: si voluit accusare, pietati tribuo;

With perfect infinitive active (rare).

In negative imperative sentences dependent on ne velis, ne velit (in oblique discourse also ne vellet), where ne velis has the force of noli. The perfect infinitive emphatically represents the action as completed (ante-class. and poet.).

In ancient ordinances of the Senate and of the higher officers (not in laws proper): NEIQVIS EORVM BACANAL HABVISE VELET... BACAS VIR NEQVIS ADIESE VELET CEIVIS ROMANVS... NEVE PECVNIAM QVISQVAM EORVM COMOINEM HABVISE VELET... NEVE... QVIQVAM FECISE VELET. NEVE INTER SED CONIOVRASE, NEVE COMVOVISE NEVE CONSPONDISE, etc., S. C. de Bacch. 4-13 ap. Wordsworth, Fragm. and Spec. p. 172.—So, in quoting such ordinances: per totam Italiam edicta mitti ne quis qui Bacchis initiatus esset, coisse aut convenisse causa sacrorum velit. [p. 2006] neu quid talis rei divinae fecisse, Liv. 39, 14, 8:

sunt delicta tamen quibus ignovisse velimus (= volumus),

which should be pardoned, Hor. A. P. 347.—

To represent the will as referring to a completed action.

In optative sentences with vellem or velim, v. II. B. 5. b. a, and II. C. 1. b.—

In other sentences ( poet. and post-class.): ex omnibus praediis ex quibus non hac mente recedimus ut omisisse possessionem velimus, with the will to abandon (omittere would denote the purpose to give up at some future time), Dig. 43, 16, 1, § 25; so,

an erit qui velle recuset Os populi meruisse?

Of the will of superiors, gods, etc. (cf. A. 1. b. supra), I want, it is my will:

me absente neminem volo intromitti,

Plaut. Aul. 1, 3, 21:

id. Stich. 1, 2, 41; id. Most. 1, 4, 2; id. Rud. 4, 5, 9; id. Trin. 1, 2, 1:

quippe (senatus) foedum hominem a republica procul esse volebat,

Sall. C. 19, 2:

nec (di) patefieri (crimina) ut impunita essent, sed ut vindicarentur voluerunt,

Liv. 39, 16, 11; cf. id. 1, 56, 3; 2, 28, 5; 25, 32, 6:

senatus... Romano sanguini pudicitiam tutam esse voluit,

Val. Max. 6, 1, 9; cf. id. 6, 9, 2.—So in the historians: quid fieri vellet (velit), after a verbum imperandi or declarandi, he gave his orders, explained his will:

ibi quid fieri vellet imperabat,

Caes. B. G. 1, 45:

montem quem a Labieno occupari voluerit,

which he had ordered to be occupied, Caes. B. G. 1, 22:

ibi futuros esse Helvetios ubi eos Caesar... esse voluisset,

id. ib. 1, 13 (for velitis jubeatis with inf.-clause, v. II. B. 5. d.).—

obtinuere ut (tribuni) tribuniciae potestatis vires salubres vellent reipublicae esse,

they prevailed upon them to permit the tribunitian power to be wholesome to the republic, Liv. 2, 44, 5:

Hiero tutores... puero reliquit quos precatus est moriens ut juvenum suis potissimum vestigiis insistere vellent,

quam volui nota fit arte mea,

Ov. Am. 1, 10, 60: nolo virum, facili redimit qui sanguine famam: hunc volo, laudari qui sine morte potest, I like the one who, etc., Mart. 1, 8, 6.—

To wish to have:

roga, velitne an non uxorem,

whether he wishes to have his wife or not, Ter. Hec. 4, 1, 43:

ut sapiens velit gerere rem publicam, atque... uxorem adjungere, et velle ex ea liberos (anacoluth.),

Cic. Fin. 3, 20, 68.—

With two accusatives: (narrato) illam te amare et velle uxorem,

that you wish to have her as your wife, Ter. Heaut. 4, 3, 25; cf. id. Phorm. 1, 2, 65.—

With two accusatives, of the person and the thing: aliquem aliquid velle, to want something of somebody (cf.: aliquem aliquid rogare; mostly ante-class.;

not in Cic.): numquid me vis?

Plaut. Cist. 1, 1, 120:

face certiorem me quid meus vir me velit,

id. Cas. 2, 6, 1:

num quidpiam me vis aliud?

id. Truc. 2, 4, 81:

nunc verba in pauca conferam quid te velim,

id. As. 1, 1, 74:

narrabit ultro quid sese velis,

quid me voluisti?

id. Mil. 4, 2, 35:

numquid aliud me vis?

Ter. Phorm. 1, 2, 101:

si quid ille se velit, illum ad se venire oportere,

Caes. B. G. 1, 34:

cum mirabundus quidnam (Taurea) sese vellet, resedisset Flaccus, Me quoque, inquit, etc.,

Liv. 26, 15, 11; also, I want to speak with somebody (v. 2. a. a):

paucis, Euclio, est quod te volo,

Plaut. Aul. 2, 2, 22:

est quod te volo secreto,

id. Bacch. 5, 2, 33.—

With acc. of thing and dat. of the person: aliquid alicui velle, to wish something to somebody (= cupio aliquid alicui; v. cupio;

rare): quamquam vobis volo quae voltis, mulieres,

cui ego omnia meritissimo volo et debeo,

to whom I give and owe my best wishes, Quint. 9, 2, 35.—Esp., in the phrase quid vis (vult) with reflex. dat. of interest, lit. what do you want for yourself?

Quid tibi vis = quid vis, the dat. being redundant (rare):

quid aliud tibi vis?

what else do you want? Ter. Heaut. 2, 3, 90.—With quisque:

haud ita vitam agerent ut nunc plerumque videmus Quid sibi quisque velit nescire,

be ignorant as to their own aims and purposes, Lucr. 3, 1058.—

What do you mean? what do you drive at? what is your scope, object, drift (rare in post-Aug. writers; Don. ad Ter. Eun. prol. 45, declares it an archaism).

In 1 st pers. (rare):

nunc quid processerim huc, et quid mihi voluerim dicam,

and what I meant thereby, what was the purpose of my coming, Plaut. As. prol. 6:

id. ib. 4, 7, 34:

quid est quod sic gestis? quid sibi hic vestitus quaerit? Quid est quod laetus sis? quid tibi vis?

Sen. Ben. 4, 31, 1: volt, non volt dare Galla mihi, nec dicere possum quod volt et non volt, quid sibi Galla velit, Mart: 3, 90, 2.—

Transf. of things as subjects, what means, what signifies? quid volt sibi, Syre, haec oratio? Ter. Heaut. 4, 1, 2:

ut pernoscatis quid sibi Eunuchus velit,

id. Eun. prol. 45:

quid ergo illae sibi statuae equestres inauratae volunt?

Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 61, § 150:

quid haec sibi horum civium Romanorum dona voluerunt?

id. ib. 2, 3, 80, §

186: avaritia senilis quid sibi velit, non intellego,

what is the meaning of the phrase, id. Sen. 18, 66:

quid ergo illa sibi vult pars altera orationis qua Romanos a me cultos ait?

Liv. 40, 12, 14:

tacitae quid vult sibi noctis imago?

Ov. M. 9, 473.—

Bene or male alicui velle, to wish one well or ill, to like or dislike one (ante-class. and poet.): Ph. Bene volt tibi. St. Nequam est illud verbum bene volt, nisi qui bene facit, Plaut. Trin. 2, 4, 37 sq.:

jam diu ego huic bene et hic mihi volumus,

id. Ps. 1, 3, 4:

ut tibi, dum vivam, bene velim plus quam mihi,

id. Cas. 2, 8, 30:

egone illi ut non bene vellem?

nisi quod tibi bene ex animo volo,

Ter. Heaut. 5, 2, 6:

quo tibi male volt maleque faciet,

Plaut. Pers. 5, 2, 44:

atque isti etiam parum male volo,

id. Truc. 5, 7; cf. id. As. 5, 1, 13:

utinam sic sient qui mihi male volunt,

Ter. Eun. 4, 3, 13:

non sibi male vult,

he does not dislike himself, Petr. 38; so, melius or optime alicui velle, to like one better or best:

nec est quisquam mihi aeque melius quoi vellem,

Plaut. Capt. 3, 5, 42; id. Merc. 5, 2, 57:

illi ego ex omnibus optime volo,

id. Most. 1, 4, 24.—And bene velle = velle: bene volueris in precatione augurali Messalla augur ait, significare volueris, Fest. s. v. bene sponsis, p. 351.—

With abl.: alicujus causa velle, to like one for his own sake, i. e. personally, a Ciceronian phrase, probably inst. of omnia alicujus causa velle; lit. to wish every thing (i.e. good) in somebody's behalf.

With omnia expressed: etsi mihi videor intellexisse cum tecum de re M. Annaeii locutus sum, te ipsius causa vehementer omnia velle, tamen, etc.... ut non dubitem quin magnus cumulus accedat commenda tionis meae, Cic. Fam. 13, 55, 1:

repente coepit dicere, se omnia Verris causa velle,

that he had the most friendly disposition towards Verres, id. Verr. 2, 2, 26, § 64:

accedit eo quod Varro magnopere ejus causa vult omnia,

id. Fam. 13, 22, 1.—

Without omnia:

per eos qui nostra causa volunt, valentque apud illum,

Cic. Att. 11, 8, 1:

sed et Phameae causa volebam,

id. ib. 13, 49, 1:

etsi te ipsius Attici causa velle intellexeram,

id. ib. 16, 16, A, 6:

valde enim ejus causa volo,

id. Fam. 16, 17, 2 fin.:

illud non perficis quo minus tua causa velim,

id. ib. 3, 7, 6;

12, 7, 1: si me velle tua causa putas,

id. ib. 7, 17, 2:

regis causa si qui sunt qui velint,

id. ib. 1, 1, 1:

credo tua causa velle Lentulum,

id. Q. Fr. 1, 4, 5; id. Div. in Caecil. 6, 21; cf. id. Imp. Pomp. (v. C. 1. b. supra), where the phrase has its literal meaning; cf. also: alicujus causa (omnia) cupere; v. cupio.—
