Lithuanian
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *nō; compare Latvian nò (“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 në, Ancient Greek ἀνά (aná, “up, along”) ἄνω (ánō, “upwards”), Armenian ան- (an-). A similar Balto-Slavic loss of initial *a can be seen in põ (“under, after”).
