Meaning: a demonstrative stem
Abkhaz: (a)-ni
Abaza: (a)-ni
Adyghe: na-
Kabardian: na-
Ubykh: n-
Comments: A demonstrative stem, primarily adverbial with far deixis, but also used in some other functions. In AA cf. Abkh. a-ná 'there', a-ni (*a-nǝ-jǝ) 'that' etc.; also used as a preverb na- 'there' (directive). It is possible that the 3d person pronominal prefix n(a)- (in some verbal forms) in Abkh. and Abaz. also goes back to the same root.

    In AK the stem has survived only as a preverb *na- (Ad., Kab. na-) with exactly the same functions as in AA. Finally, in Ubykh the only traces of this morpheme are the pronominal prefixes of the 3d person n- (sing.), nā- (plur.), obviously related to the corresponding AA prefix *n(a)-.

Middle Chinese: nâ
English meaning : (Sch.:) perhaps: be rich
Russian meaning[s]: 1) тот; этот; о более далеких или отсутствующих определенных предметах с суффиксами в соответствии с разрядом существительного; 2) там; туда; 3) так; в таком случае; [nǎ] 1) который, какой; с суффиксами в соответствии с разрядом существительного; 2) где?; куда?; как?; [nuó] 1) как, каково; 2) сокр. Норвегия, вм. 挪; [-na] конечная частица, см. �; [ná] 1) много; 2) спокойно; [nā] На (фамилия)
Comments: In oldest texts the character is used only with the meaning 'to be rich' (sometimes within a compound 猗那 *ʔār-nār id.). The pronominal meaning (at first only interrogative) appears only during Late Zhou - as a synonym for 奈 *n(h)āts 'so what?' (q.v.). Later, during Wei, the character is used for a (probably related) interrogative *n(h)ā́ > MC nấ, Mand. nuǒ (colloq. nǎ) 'how, what'. Finally, since Tang demonstrative usage is witnessed: MC nầ, Mand. nuò (colloq. nà) 'that'. The standard Sino-Viet. reading is nã; này may be an old loanword, or else may be just a rather universal pronominal stem (in Viet. cf. also nó 'he', nọ 'other').
