Origin: IE [Indo-European] [769] *neu̯os `new'

Etymology: As inherited word νέος from νέϜος ( νεϜόστατος Cypr.) is identical with Hitt. neu̯a-, Skt. náva-, Lat. novus, OCS novъ, Toch. B ñuwe, A ñu: IE *néuos `new'. Beside it a i̯o-deriv. in Skt. návya-, Germ., e.g. Goth. niujis, Celt., e.g. Gaul. Novio-dūnum, Lith. naũjas. Also νεῖος (only A. R. 1, 125, verse-begin) could agree with this; but it is no more than a metrically lengthened νέος. An old r-formation could be νεαρός, which has an agreement in Arm. nor `new' from *neu̯erós v.t.; cf. νηρός. The denominative νεάω agrees with Lat. novāre and Hitt. neu̯ah̯h̯- `renew'. The agreement of νεότης and Lat. novitās, νέᾱξ and CSl. novakъ can result from parallel innovations. -- WP. 2, 324, Pok. 769.
