Wortbed. 343 ff.<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [769] <b class="b2">*neu̯os</b> [[new]]<br />Etymology: As inherited word <b class="b3">νέος</b> from <b class="b3">νέϜος</b> (<b class="b3">νεϜόστατος</b> Cypr.) is identical with Hitt. <b class="b2">neu̯a-</b>, Skt. <b class="b2">náva-</b>, Lat. [[novus]], OCS [[novъ]], Toch. B <b class="b2">ñuwe</b>, A <b class="b2">ñu</b> : IE <b class="b2">*néuos</b> [[new]]. Beside it a <b class="b2">i̯o-</b>deriv. in Skt. <b class="b2">návya-</b>, Germ., e.g. Goth. [[niujis]], Celt., e.g. Gaul. <b class="b2">Novio-dūnum</b>, Lith. <b class="b2">naũjas</b>. Also <b class="b3">νεῖος</b> (only A. R. 1, 125, verse-begin) could agree with this; but it is no more than a metrically lengthened <b class="b3">νέος</b>. An old <b class="b2">r-</b>formation could be <b class="b3">νεαρός</b>, which has an agreement in Arm. [[nor]] [[new]] from <b class="b2">*neu̯erós</b> v.t.; cf. <b class="b3">νηρός</b>. The denominative <b class="b3">νεάω</b> agrees with Lat. [[novāre]] and Hitt. <b class="b2">neu̯ah̯h̯-</b> [[renew]]. The agreement of <b class="b3">νεότης</b> and Lat. [[novitās]], <b class="b3">νέαξ</b> and CSl. [[novakъ]] can result from parallel innovations. -- WP. 2, 324, Pok. 769.
