Lithuanian
Etymology
From an older nesà or n?sà, which Ford interprets as ne- + *so; the latter element being from Proto-Indo-European *so (“conjunctve particle”); compare Hittite ???? (šu-, “preterite conjunctive particle”), Old Irish se (“conjunctive particle”), ultimately deriving most likely from the Proto-Indo-European demonstrative *só, *séh?, *tód. See tas for more. The further parallel drawn by Ford with Hittite ???????????? (naššu, “or”) is neither supported nor ruled out by Kloekhorst.
