[[force]], Lat. <b class="b2">dē-bilis</b> [[without power]], OCS [[boljьjь]] [[bigger]] etc. But the formation is unclear, notably the <b class="b3">-τ-</b>. Seiler Steigerungsformen 91ff. assumes a <b class="b3">*βελτός</b> [[desired]] > [[better]] (but hardly to [[βούλομαι]] because of the <b class="b3">β-</b>, but cf.
