Old Novgorodian

Etymology

First attested in c. 1050‒1075. Borrowed from Baltic languages, cf. Latvian nuõma (tax, quitrent), Lithuanian núoma (rent, lease, hire), ultimately from Proto-Balto-Slavic *nṓmāˀ, from Proto-Indo-European *nṓm-eh₂, from *nem- (to give, to take). Baltic borrowings are also Livonian núom, Estonian nuum (rent, lease). Compare related Lithuanian núomoti, Latvian nuõmât, nuõmuôt (to rent out; to hire), further Latvian ņemt (to take), Proto-Germanic *nemaną (to take), Ancient Greek νέμω (némō, to dispense, distribute). PIE root *nōm- with a long vowel, a variant of *nem-, is confirmed by Ancient Greek νωμάω (nōmáō, to deal out, distribute).

If the assumption about the Baltic borrowing is correct, then it occurred in the oldest period, when Proto-Balto-Slavic had not yet turned into uo. Since when borrowing East Baltic uo into Slavic it is reflected as у (u) or о (o). Another possibility is that наме (name) is the original inherited Proto-Slavic *nàmъ < Proto-Balto-Slavic *nṓmas, from Proto-Indo-European *nṓm-os.
