    1. masculine gender (nominative case व्/इस् or व्/एस् accusative व्/इम् genitive case ablative व्/एस्; plural nominative case accusative व्/अयस् [accusative वीन् Bhat2t2.]; व्/इभिस्, व्/इभ्यस्, वीन्/आम्) a bird (also applied to horses, arrows, and the Maruts मरुत् s) fg-veda VS. Pan5cavBr, (also occurring in later language).[confer, compare 1. व्/अयस्; Greek οἰωνός for ὀϝιωνος; Latin a-vis; according to to some German Ei; Anglo-Saxon ae4g; English egg.]
    2. neuter gender an artificial word said to be Equivalent to अन्न S3Br.
    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") . The a reference to some preceeding word (not necessarily in the same page) 3. व्/इ may also be used in forming compounds not immediately referable to verbs, in which cases it may express "difference" (confer, compare 1. वि-लक्षण), "change" or "variety" (confer, compare वि-चित्र), "intensity" (confer, compare वि-कराल), "manifoldness" (confer, compare वि-विध), "contrariety" (confer, compare वि-लोम), "deviation from right" (confer, compare वि-शील), "negation" or "privation" (confer, compare वि-कच्छ, being often used like 3. अ, निर्, and निस् [qq. vv.], and like the Latin dis, se, and the English a, dis, in, un etc.)
    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
