نویدن

Persian

Etymology

The "whimper, moan" meanings are from Proto-Iranian *naw(H)- (“to cry, wail”), from Proto-Indo-European *newH- (“to cry out, shout”), whence Sanskrit नु (nu, “to sound out, praise”), Tocharian B nu- (“to cry out, threaten”), Old Irish núall (“cry, alarm, proclamation”), and perhaps Latin nūntius (“message”).[1]

The "quiver, tremble" meanings are from Proto-Iranian *naw- (“to move”), from Proto-Indo-European *new- (“to nod (the head)”), with presumed semantic shift "to give a nod" > "to move in a shaking way".[2]
