Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/h₁nómn̥

Etymology
Kloekhorst 2008:518 argues for a derivative of the root, reflected in  (originally “to call to court”) and  (with a semantic shift comparable to ); see also.

Within the disputed Indo-Uralic theory, it has been connected with the Uralic root, whence , and.

Reconstruction
Sources disagree on the reconstruction of this word. Some reconstruct it with initial *h₃- because of Greek, and  (*n̥h₃C>νωC), but the lack of an initial laryngeal in Hittite  might suggest *h₁ (although the fate of word-initial *h₃ in Anatolian is unclear and controversial), and Armenian  could be from either one. The Greek o- could be due to assimilation to the following o-, just as in, from *odonts, assimilated from *edonts, from *h₁dont-, although this is now reconstructed with *h₃ by some authorities. Medial *-eh₃- is sometimes reconstructed on the basis of length in some Dutch and Low German denominal verbs, but these are more likely to be late forms using the Germanic a/ō ablaut found also in class VI strong verbs (and in Indo-Iranian it could have arisen by Brugmann's law, and in Latin by the analogy :  =  :, with the other forms from PIE ).

The original paradigm is also somewhat difficult to reconstruct precisely; it might be proterokinetic ablauting ~, or just acrostatic with or without zero grade in weak cases. The Tocharian forms seem to come from *(h₁)nem-, which could be from the oblique form in an acrostatic paradigm. However, Ronald Kim reconstructs 🇨🇬 as.
