Comments: JLTT 424, 697, 835. *-(a)n- is a verbal negation, probably reflecting the original first vowel of the root *an- (preserved because of the loss of final -i in an auxiliary verbal morpheme). *ìná is a regular reflex of *ā̀ni, while the adjective *nà- 'lacking, non-existent' reveals a secondary loss of initial vowel.
