From an oldernesà ornėsà, which Ford interprets asne- +*so; the latter element being fromProto-Indo-European*so(“conjunctve particle”);[1] compareHittite𒋗(šu-,“preterite conjunctive particle”),Old Irishse(“conjunctive particle”), ultimately deriving most likely from theProto-Indo-Europeandemonstrative*só, *séh₂, *tód. Seetas for more. The further parallel drawn by Ford withHittite𒈾𒀸𒋗(naššu,“or”) is neither supported nor ruled out by Kloekhorst.[2]
