Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From *noziti +‎ *-jь, from a Proto-Indo-European *h₁noǵʰ-yos (“plunger, piercer”). Probable cognates include Ancient Greek ἔγχος (énkhos, “spear”), Ancient Greek νύσσω (nússō, “to prick, nudge”), Attic Ancient Greek νύττω (núttō), and perhaps Old Irish ness (“wound”). According to Vasmer, comparisons with Avestan 𐬥𐬀𐬉𐬰𐬀 (naēza), Latin nectō (“I bind, tie”), and Sanskrit नह्यति (nahyati, “to bind, tie”) are untenable, implicitly due to being phonetically difficult to justify. According to Trubachyov, cognate with Lithuanian knẽžas (“knife”). This is unlikely due to the lack of an initial k- in Proto-Slavic.
