Etymology

Such contractions with a verb and the negative part *ne are frequently encountered in ancient Germanic languages, compare Old Saxon nitan, newitan (“to not know”) (from ne + witan), Old English nabban (“to not have”) (from ne + habban), nillan (“to not want”) (from ne + willan) and nesan (“to not be”) (ne + wesan).

nis

1. Contraction of ne is (“is not”).
