[edit]

Etymology 1

[edit]

From Proto-Albanian *ana, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂enō (along a slanted surface, etc.), from *h₂én (on, upon, onto, up to). Cognate to Ancient Greek ἀνά (aná, on, upwards, along), Gothic 𐌰𐌽𐌰 (ana, on, in, against, because of, about), English on, and Old Prussian no, na (on (where), against, about there).

Etymology 2

[edit]

Nominative-accusative from accusative Proto-Albanian *nōs, stressed form of clitic Proto-Indo-European *nos, which is continued by the clitic na. Neve and nesh are innovated, but Gheg retains dative nahe (Old Albanian nae) from a genitive *nosōm.
