You're on to something, but you don't have to discover it yourself, ou
can read about it in most handbooks. There is a Latin sound law
changing e to o before the thick l ("l pinguis"), meaning /l/ followed
by a consonant (except /l/) or a vowel different from /i/. That
governs the alternation volo:, vult, volunt, velim, velle perfectly.
Sihler's paragraph 42.5 is about this.

Maybe "it's all for the sake of Torsten's education" (Piotr), but it
is not unimportant how opinions are created.
