Old Novgorodian
Etymology
First attested in c. 1160‒1180. Possibly inherited from Proto-Slavic *nuďьně, from *nùďa (“need, necessity”) + *ně (reinforcing particle, compare *nyně) with Old Pskovian reflex *ď > early g > late z. By surface analysis, *ноуга (*nuga) + *нѣ (*ně). A typical Eastern Old Novgorodian would be expected as *ноужьнѣ (*nužĭně). Cognate with Old East Slavic нужьнѣ (nužĭně), Old Ruthenian нужнѣ (nužně), Old Church Slavonic ноуждьнѣ (nuždĭně).
