From Old Albaniannja, fromProto-Albanian*nyá-, from Pre-Proto-Albanian*myá-, fromProto-Indo-European*smiyo-(“a, an”), fromProto-Indo-European*s(e)mih₂ orProto-Indo-European*smiyah₂. Ultimately fromProto-Indo-European*sem-(“together, one”). According to Neri, the etymology connectingnjë to*h₁óynos is problematic, as it assumes an unknown pronomial element at the initial sound and also does not explain the stem*nyá- without a final nasal.[1]
