vix: aegre [SYN. in HARDLY]. (The words are found in this connection and order.) vix aegreque: scarcely if at all vix aut ne vix quidem; vix aut omnino non; vix vixque: to be scarcely able to restrain one’s self vix se continere posse; aegre se tenere: scarcely thirty vix triginta: scarcely anybody vix quisquam; nemo fere (so nullus fere; nihil fere; numquam fere). It can scarcely be told dici vix potest or vix potest dici (☞ not vix dici potest).

(With pluperfect) = when: vix or vixdum - cum: commodum or commode - cum: tantum quod - cum [Vid: examples under HARDLY]. ☞ The cum is sometimes but rarely omitted; thus qui tantum quod ad hostes pervenerat. Datames signa inferri jubet (Nep.).

Only just now vixdum; vix tandem; tantum quod; modo. Marcellus who had scarcely ceased to be a boy Marcellus tantum quod pueritiam egressus (Suet.).

Scarcely... much less vixdum - nedum (e.g. vixdum libertatem nedum dominationem modice ferre).
