*vojI 'warrior' (Pol. wój, OCS, ORu. voi) < *woih1-o- (assuming the
correctness of the LIV reconstruction of the root as *weih1-). The
byform *vo(j)inU is an extension of that, with the singulative suffix
*-inU. In a compound, *woih1o- > *voje-.
LIV lists *wedH- 'führen' and *wedHh1- 'stoßen' as formally different roots.
