omnis
omn-is uital.-lat. alle, jeder, gänzlich,
Aus uital. *opnis, aus uig. *h₃ep-ni-s „arbeiten“, aus der verbalen Wurzel *h₃ep- „arbeiten“, und daher „besitzen“. Verwandt mit ops und opus. Es könnte auch die Basis des uig. *h₁op- „arbeiten, nehmen“ widerspiegeln (vgl. optō), dem De Vaan aus semantischen Gründen eine leichte Präferenz gibt.
