nēs

1. second-person singular present active subjunctive of nō

From an older nesà or nėsà, which Ford interprets as ne- + *so; the latter element being from Proto-Indo-European *so (“conjunctve particle”);[1] compare Hittite 𒋗 (šu-, “preterite conjunctive particle”), Old Irish se (“conjunctive particle”), ultimately deriving most likely from the Proto-Indo-European demonstrative *só, *séh₂, *tód. See tas for more. The further parallel drawn by Ford with Hittite 𒈾𒀸𒋗 (naššu, “or”) is neither supported nor ruled out by Kloekhorst.[2]
