[a form vés would answer to weihs or wehs, = κώμη, ἀγρός; uuih = templum; the identity of this word with the vicus and οικος is indubitable, the abbreviation being analogous to fé and pecu; whereas weihs = holy is a different root word, see vígja; for the double sense of aedes and templum does not depend on the etymology, but is analogous to what has taken place in the word hof, ]
