438. uei (wei) = strength (Pei-54).

Note that Pei treats u (which is used by JS – see JS-xxx) as w. This IE root also is fused with more than one DR. seed-word such as vaya = strength, power (5254-Ta); vayam = might, power (Ta); vayavu = strength (Ta); vayam = strength (Ma). The English word violent, is ascribed to this root. Here, note that in DR. ve = be angry (5517-Ta); veyya = fierce (Ta); weh’nai = to oppress (Kuwi). JS-443 derives the word violence from the root rendered as uiro (JS-443-44), and defined with an emphasis on man and his courage which is an aspect of a strong man. Here, note the DR. seed-word viral = strength, victory (5439-Ta). The related word vira which is listed in the same group 5439 denotes: conquer, which not only reflects the sense of strength of a strong man, but the sense of violence which is usually involved in conquering. Inasmuch as these meanings connote the involvement of a strong man, a warrior, and his prowess, note also the other DR. words which are in the picture virutu = valor, prize gained by conquest (5414-Ta); virutu = badge of victory (Ta); virutan = an accomplished warrior (Ta)

Note that the derived Latin word vicus denotes: village (Pei-93), and that Pei further says that the root occurs in a Germanic place-name suffix and also possibly in a noun of nationality. He also points out that the root occurs in the Gothoc weihs = "village", and in the Anglo-Saxon wic which occurs in many place-names ending in wick, wich, as in Warwick, Greenwich. That the place-names of a country constitute proof for the identity of the language in which they occur and that of its speakers has been noted earlier when other IE roots also attested their Dravidian identity and that of their speakers.

Here note that in DR. valvu = residence, residing, living, livelihood, wealth, happiness, happy life (5372-Ta); valuka = to cultivate, live (Ma); valcha = cultivation, living prosperously, reign, rule, government (Ma). Pei also notes that the semantic shift from villein = "serf", which is French has become vilain = "ugly", and in English villain = "bad man".
