Na   , particle, ‘well then! now!’ only, unknown to ; scarcely identical with the  particle na, which Notker  uses at the end and in the middle of  sentences expressed negatively.  ,, from the  nabe,  naba, , ‘nave (of a wheel)’; corresponding to  naaf, aaf, nave (see , ),  nafu, ,  nave,  nǫf, , all of which have the same meaning;  *naba, , is by chance not recorded. Both the word and the idea are ( form nobhâ);   nãbhi,, and nãbhya, , ‘nave (of a wheel).’ Undoubtedly the cognates discussed under  with the meaning ‘navel’ are  allied, the  word nâbhi just quoted also signifying ‘navel,’ as well as  naba, , which is exactly  in sound to  naba. Hence umbo (for *onbo, *nobo), ‘boss (of a shield),’ may also be connected with umbilîcus, ‘navel’;   ὀμφαλός, ‘navel, boss (of a shield).’ With regard to the antiquity of the terms denoting parts of a waggon see, , , and.   ,, ‘navel,’ from the  nabel,  nabolo, ; corresponding to  navel,  nafela,  navel,  nafle, , ‘navel’;  *nabala is by chance not recorded. A common Aryan word in the forms nobhelo-, onbhelo-;   ὀμφαλός,  umbilîcus (for *unbilîcus, *nobilîcus),  nâbhîla,  imbliu, ‘navel.’ These words are  l- derivatives of  nóbkâ, onbhâ, ‘nave, navel,’ appearing in. In other cases the terms for parts of the body are mostly underived forms (see  and ).   ', ',, ‘auger, gimlet,’ from nęgber, nagcber, , a strange corruption (probably by connection with ) of nębe-gêr, nabe-gêr, , ‘auger’. Corresponding to naba-gêr,, ‘auger,’  ‘spear, pointed iron tool to bore naves,’ also  nafogâr, ‘auger,’  nevagǫ̂r, nauger,  auger (with regard to the apparent loss of an initial n   adder,  to  ; similarly  avegaar, ‘auger,’ as well as aaf, are, ‘nave’),  to   nabugêr,  nafarr, ‘auger.’ An  compound, whence  napakaira, ‘auger.’  ,, ‘after, behind, in accordance with,’ from nâch,  nâh, , ‘after, near to, beside’;   nêhw, nêhwa. , ‘near to’; allied to the,  nâh,  nêhws. , see.  ,, ‘neighbour,’ from the  nâchgebûr,  nâhgibûr, nâhgibûro, ; corresponding to  nabuur,  nêhhebûr, ,  neighbour; a common West  compound, pointing to  *nêhwagabûr, ; it signifies ‘he who lives near to another.’.   ,, ‘boat, skiff,’ from the  nache,  nahho, ; corresponding to  naco,  naak, aak (respecting the form without n see ),  naca,  (obsolete in later );  nǫkkve, , ‘boat’;  *naqa, , is by chance not recorded (see also ). Its origin is obscure; perhaps nâv-is,  ναῦ-ς,  nãus, are allied,  nav- being changed to naq. .   , see.  ,, the of  used as a , ‘neighbour, fellow-man’;   nâhisto, , ‘neighbour’; in  nêhwundja, , ‘neighbour.’  <section begin="Nacht" /> ,, ‘night,’ from the  and  naht, ; corresponding to  nahts,  nótt,  neaht, niht,  night,  nacht,  naht, ; a common  naht-, , from common Aryan nokt-, ‘night.’   nox (stem nocti-),  νύξ (νυκτ-),  nákta-, naktan-, , nákti-, ,  naktìs,  noštĭ. While the word ‘night’ is common to all the Aryan languages, they differ considerably in the terms for ‘day’; this is due to the fact that time in the Aryan period was counted by nights and not by days; relics of this method are seen in, ‘Shrove Tuesday,’ , ‘Christmas,’ and  fortnight, sennight (  and ). Only a few main divisions of time, such as and, are widely diffused. <section end="Nacht" /> <section begin="Nachtigall" /> ,, ‘nightingale,’ from the  nahtegal,  nahte-gala, ; a term common to the West  languages for ‘luscinia,’  ‘singer in the<section end="Nachtigall" />
