Can the prefix form of that be used as a similative? If so, vē̆- might be an alternative of -ndon. By the way: How should vē̆- be spelled? Is it like vé-?

Tamas Ferencz #617

I am not entirely sure that that vē̆- was meant to be a prefix, words like véla and vea suggest that they may be more like a stem/root.
