Is invazaṛ from a Latin infinitive?
To the best of my (limited) knowledge, there is not an infinitive in Classical Latin corresponding to that, no...

A suspiciously-specific answer...

Then, at least, does invazaṛ contain a morpheme that descends from a Latin infinitive morpheme?

It does.

I'll save a bit of time: this is the infinitive form of a verb that has been derived from a noun; to my knowledge, the root only occurs as a noun in Latin.

So to be clear it's s-invaz-ar-um-ot when divided by morpheme right? Is s- from ex-?

It's slightly ambiguous - on some level, it's probably s-invaza-ar-um-ot, but the a-a- just ends up as -a-. And actually, 'invaza' could arguably be broken up a bit too - it depends whether we think all the morphemes present in Latin are still in some sense present even if no longer fully (or at all) productive...

No.

Is invaza from invasiō?
Edit: oops, this has already been asked.
Is invaza from Latin in- plus a noun?

Does s- descend from dis-, or for that matter dē-ex > [des] > [​s]?

Or the prefix sē- of separation?

Or sīc?

Is the stem derived from vās 'utensil'?

What does the dot under <ṛ> represent, perhaps retroflexion?

Does -òt descend from 3PL -ant, or for that matter 3PL -Vnt, probably -unt?

Is this too many questions for one post? I think I usually see people asking three at a time at most.

No...

A dorsal constriction - probably just velarisation, although I've not ruled out that it might be pharyngealisation. There may also be a bit of allophonic labialisation too.

Nope...

Probably! I don't mind, and it does speed things up when it's a difficult word. particularly early on in the guessing process. But it does sort of tilt the playing field a little...

ok, so does the v in the 'invaza' component derive from Latin v /w/? If so does it come from invidia? If not from v, is it from Latin b?

It is indeed from v.

Is it indefinite à la French "on" or Italian "si"?

I must admit I don't know what you mean by this. Would it be asking too much for me to request some clarification?
Edit: I don't know if this is the source of the issue, but at least for me, "any" can mean "at least one, but as many as all". This may be an idiolectal or dialectal thing.

I'm not aware of 'any' having other meanings?

But I thought maybe you meant something else. The answer to the given question is simply no: this is a verb, and pronouns are a different part of speech altogether.

Alright.

Well yes, of course, but I thought it might be a verb phrase with an object pronoun included or something like that.
