3. indeclinable (probably for an original द्वि, meaning "in two parts"; and opp. to सम् quod vide) apart, asunder, in different directions, to and fro, about, away, away from, off, without fg-veda etc. etc. In fg-veda it appears also as a preposition with accusative denoting "through" or "between" (with ellipse of the verb exempli gratia, 'for example' 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" (confer, compare वि-√भिद्, -शिष्, -धा, -रुध्, -चर्, with their nominal derivatives)
4. indeclinable sometimes it gives a meaning opposite to the idea contained in the simple root (exempli gratia, 'for example' √क्री, "to buy"; वि-√क्री, "to sell"), or it intensifies that idea (exempli gratia, 'for example' √हिंस्, "to injure"; वि-√हिंस्, "to injure severely") .

5. indeclinable in some cases it does not seem to modify the meaning of the simple word at all (confer, compare वि-जामि, वि-जामातृ)
6. indeclinable it is also used to form proper names out of other proper names (exempli gratia, 'for example' वि-कोक, वि-पृथु, वि-विंश). To save space such words are here mostly collected under one article
7. indeclinable but words having several subordinate compounds will be found sub voce, the word in the Sanskrit order
