Etymology 1

[edit]

From वि (), plus an uncertain second element which has been theorized to be a fossilized Proto-Indo-European ablative suffix *-neh₁, related to Proto-Germanic *-nē (cf. *-anē, *fanē) and perhaps Latin *-nē in supernē. This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.

Postposition

[edit]

विना (vínā)

  1. without, except [with accusative or instrumental or ablative]
    त्वां विना न गमिष्यामि।
    tvāṃ vinā na gamiṣyāmi.
    I will not go without you.
Usage notes
[edit]

The word preceding विना (vinā) is usually inflected in instrumental case. For example, त्वया विना (without you), मया विना (without me), etc. However, at times depending on the context, that word can be inflected in accusative or ablative case too.
