Persian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

The "whimper, moan" meanings are from Proto-Iranian *naw(H)- (to cry, wail), from Proto-Indo-European *newH- (to cry out, shout), whence Sanskrit नु (nu, to sound out, praise), Tocharian B nu- (to cry out, threaten), Old Irish núall (cry, alarm, proclamation), and perhaps Latin nūntius (message).[1]

The "quiver, tremble" meanings are from Proto-Iranian *naw- (to move), from Proto-Indo-European *new- (to nod (the head)), with presumed semantic shift "to give a nod" > "to move in a shaking way".[2]
