  Yes \Yes\, adv. [OE. yis, [yogh]is, [yogh]es, [yogh]ise, AS.
     gese, gise; probably fr. ge['a] yea + sw[=a] so. [root]188.
     See Yea, and So.]
     Ay; yea; -- a word which expresses affirmation or consent; --
     opposed to no.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Yes is used, like yea, to enforce, by repetition or
           addition, something which precedes; as, you have done
           all this -- yes, you have done more. ``Yes, you despise
           the man books confined.'' --Pope.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: ``The fine distinction between `yea' and `yes,' `nay'
           and `no,' that once existed in English, has quite
           disappeared. `Yea' and `nay' in Wyclif's time, and a
           good deal later, were the answers to questions framed
           in the affirmative. `Will he come?' To this it would
           have been replied, `Yea' or `Nay', as the case might
           be. But, `Will he not come?' To this the answer would
           have been `Yes' or `No.' Sir Thomas More finds fault
           with Tyndale, that in his translation of the Bible he
           had not observed this distinction, which was evidently
           therefore going out even then, that is, in the reign of
           Henry VIII.; and shortly after it was quite
           forgotten.'' --Trench.
