Slavic *vIs'I 'all', Lith. vi`sas, etc., point to *wisos, with no *k^,
which might agree with Skt. vis.u- 'on either side' rather than Ved.
vís'va-, OAv. vi:spa-, OPer. vis(p)a- < *wik^wo-. Gk. (w)ís(w)os is a
bit mysterious, but it seems to belong with the *wis- forms (some derive
them from *wits- < *wid-s-).
