Etymology

[edit]

Similar interjections can be found in other Finnic languages (compareEstonianno,noh,Ingrianno,Karelianno,Livonianno,noh,Ludianno,Voticno) and possibly also in other Uralic languages (compareKomi-Zyrianно(no),Udmurtно(no)). Compare also to those found in neighboring Indo-European languages (such asSwedishnå,Latviannu,Russianну(nu)), which may all trace back as far asProto-Indo-European*nu.SSA concludes that the interjection is probably part original and part foreign.[1]
