vili (OSw) vilje (ODan) vilia (OGu) vili (ON) noun

Literally, ‘will’. Mainly contrasted to vaþi ‘accident’, a distinction presumed to be influenced by canon law. Definitions and examples of deeds characterized as committed by vili differ greatly. Whether a deed was done by vili or by vaþi had legal consequences; a deed done by vili was more severely punished and was seen as a breach not only against the victim but also against society.
