editEtymology
editInherited from Proto-Slavic *něsmo, Inherited from Proto-Slavic *něsmъ, From Proto-Slavic *ne + *esmъ, first-person plural present tense form of *byti. This formation later created *ne jesmъ in the South Slavic vernaculars, which merged to become něsmo (attested in 1395). Because of the yat reflex, něsmo became rendered as нијесмо in Ijekavian speeches.
