10% of the first six Google-search pages for “will-being” show up as meaning “well-being.” This is related to the pin/pen merger, but the “merger” of / I/ and /E/ before /L/ (noted usually in “pillow,” “Illinois,” and “milk”) is arguably a semantic reanalysis in “will-being.”

It seems possible that will-being is a reanalysis, but what might it mean? Futurity? Strength?
