Etymology: Unknown. Unlikely to be related to Gothic 𐌹𐌽𐌿 (inu, “without”) and German ohne (“without”) because of the leading /a/. Maybe from Proto-Indo-European *sń̥h₂u or *sn̥h₂eu, which could be derived from a more primary particle *sń̥ (“separated, without”) or the locative of some (hard to identify) noun. Likely related to Sanskrit सनुतर् (sanutár, “far away”), Latin sine (“without”), Old Irish sain- (“separated”), Khotanese [script needed] (anau, “without”), Tocharian B snai (“without”).
