Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *nō; compare Latvian nùo ‎(“from”), Old Prussian no, na ‎(“onto, against, over”), Proto-Slavic *na ‎(“on, to”). In East Baltic the meaning somehow switched from "movement onto" to "movement away". Often connected with Ancient Greek ἀνά ‎(aná, “up, along”) ἄνω ‎(ánō, “upwards”) Avestan 𐬀𐬥𐬀 ‎(ana), Old Persian 𐎠𐎴𐎠 ‎(anā, “upwards, along”) < Proto-Indo-European *h₂en- ‎(“up, on high”). A similar Balto-Slavic loss of initial *a can be seen in põ ‎(“under, after”).
