Pronunciation

Etymology 1

From Middle English, from reduced form of none, noon (“none, not any”), used before consonants, from Old English nān (“none, not any”), from ne (“not”) + ān (“one”), compare Old Saxon nigēn (“not any”) (Dutch geen), Old High German nihein (German kein). More at no, one.

Etymology 2

From Middle English no, na, from Old English nā, nō (“never”), from Proto-Germanic *nai (“never”), *nē (“not”), from Proto-Indo-European *ne, *nē, *ney (negative particle), equivalent to Old English ne (“not”) + ā, ō (“ever, always”). Cognate with West Frisian {{ Template:Fry/script |né| face=term | lang=fry }} (“no”), West Frisian {{ Template:Fry/script |nea| face=term | lang=fry }} (“never”), Dutch nee (“no”), Low German nee (“no”), German nie (“never”), Icelandic nei (“no”). More at nay.
