Declension

  • Case suffixes are regular and the stem is invariant. The comitative is quite infrequently used, but the abessive forms are practically never used. The instructive plural is used but rather as an adverb.

In dialects, the plural stem noi- might instead be nui- (Northern Savonia, Northern Karelia, Northern Ostrobothnia and many other northern dialects) or nuo- (South Ostrobothnia and some South Karelian dialects).

Lithuanian

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *nō; compare Latvian (from), Old Prussian no, na (onto, against, over), Proto-Slavic *na (on, to), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂en- (up, on high). In East Baltic the meaning somehow switched from "movement onto" to "movement away". Related to Polish na, Russian на (na), English on, Umbrian 𐌀𐌍- (an-), Old Persian 𐎠𐎴𐎠 (a-n-a /⁠anā⁠/, upwards, along), Avestan 𐬀𐬥𐬀 (ana), Sanskrit अनु (anu), Albanian , Ancient Greek ἀνά (aná, up, along) ἄνω (ánō, upwards), Armenian ան- (an-). A similar Balto-Slavic loss of initial *a can be seen in (under, after).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /nuə/
