nuo (accusative singular nuon, plural nuoj, accusative plural nuojn)

1. nu

• nuot (archaic, colloquial)
• noi (colloquial)

From Proto-Uralic *no. Related to Karelian nuo, Estonian noo (southern dialect), Erzya нонат (nonat), Eastern Mari нуно (nuno) and Northern Sami nuvt (“about”); possible cognates in Samoyedic but relations are indistinguishable from relations to other n-pronouns.

• Rhymes: -uo

nuo (plural, stem noi-)

1. (demonstrative) those (objects pointed at by the speaker)

nuo

1. those (pointed at by the speaker)

From Latin novus.

nuo m sg (plural nua)

1. new

• viecio

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *nō; compare Latvian nùo (“from”), Old Prussian no, na (“onto, against, over”), Proto-Slavic *n nkl a (“on, to”). In East Baltic the meaning somehow switched from lp"movement onto" to "movement away". Often connected with Ancient Greek ἀνά (aná, “up, along”) ἄνω (ánō, “upwards”) Avestan 𐬀𐬥𐬀‎ (ana), Old Persian 𐎠𐎴𐎠 (anā, “upwards, along”) < Proto-Indo-European *h₂en- (“up, on high”). A similar Balto-Slavic loss of initial *a can be seen in põ (“under, after”).
