@Kolmiel: Is this an adjectivalisation of OHG wola? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 21:34, 4 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Metaknowledge: Yes, I think so. German wohl is/was also commonly used as a predicate, whence one can easily get to an actual adjective (which also happens very occasionally in German). OHG -o- in open syllables becomes Yiddish -oy-. Semantics are fine. So, yeah, positive. Kolmiel (talk) 23:57, 4 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
