Kalasha[edit]
Noun[edit]
mes
Latvian[edit]
Pronoun[edit]
mes (personal, 1st person plural)
Lithuanian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *mes; compare Latvian mẽs, Old Prussian mes, Old Church Slavonic мꙑ (my); akin to Old Armenian մեք (mekʿ). This form in m replaced Proto-Indo-European *wéy (“we”), probably after the 1st person plural verbal suffix -me. At the East-Baltic stage, the oblique forms were rebuilt by analogy with jūs. Compare the Old Prussian oblique forms nūsan, nūmans, and Old Church Slavonic насъ, намъ (nasŭ, namŭ), from *n̥s-, nos-.
Pronunciation[edit]
Pronoun[edit]
mẽs
- we (first-person plural pronoun)
