Lithuanian

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *mes; compare Latvian mẽs, Old Prussian mes, Old Church Slavonic мꙑ ‎(my); akin to Old Armenian մեք ‎(mekʿ). This form in m replaced Proto-Indo-European *wéy ‎(“we”), probably after the 1st person plural verbal suffix -me. At the East-Baltic stage, the oblique forms were rebuilt by analogy with jūs. Compare the Old Prussian oblique forms nūsan, nūmans, and Old Church Slavonic насъ, намъ ‎(nasŭ, namŭ), from *n̥s-, nos-.

• IPA^(key): /mʲæːs/
