Proto-Indo-European[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Perhaps built on the pronominal stem *éy (“he, she, it”) + *-nós, in which case the suffix would have been used in contradiction to its presumed usage. Homer's use of feminine ἴα (ía, “one”), from *ih₂, directly from the pronominal stem *i- has been suggested as a corroboration for this.
Alternative forms in PIE include *Hóywos, attested in Greek and Indo-Iranian (cf. Ancient Greek οἶος (oîos), Avestan 𐬀𐬉𐬎𐬎𐬀 (aēuua)) and *Hóykos, attested only in Indo-Aryan (Sanskrit एक (éka)).

Comment[edit]
Acute accent in Balto-Slavic points to a medial laryngeal, at least in the *HóyHnos form.
According to Arnaud Fournet, Proto Indo-Aryan *aikas is unique among all Indo-European languages and shows similarity with counterparts in Uralic languages. But compare Proto-Albanian *ne uka (whence Albanian nuk).
