Sino-Tibetan: *niāŋ (/-āiŋ)
Yenisseian: *ʔan-

Comments and references : HGC 36, DCE 34. NC data suggest that the form *hē-nV is an oblique stem of the original interrogative *hē-. However, the latter is attested independently only in NC, and may be in fact a reanalysis of the originally infrangible form *hēnV.
