Etymology edit
From Proto-Albanian *ne uka (“not one”), from Proto-Indo-European *óynos (“one”). Cognates include Latin unicus, Gothic 𐌰𐌹𐌽𐌰𐌷𐌰 (ainaha), Old High German einac, Old Church Slavonic инокъ (inokŭ, “alone, only, single, sole”). Alternatively, Orel proposes *nuka, composed of *nu (< Proto-Indo-European *ne, colored under the influence of the following labiovelar) and *ka (< Proto-Indo-European *kʷo- (*-kʷe), a pronomial stem); thus cognate to Latin neque (“and not”), Sanskrit नच (naca, “and not”), Gothic 𐌽𐌹𐌷 (nih, “and not”), Old Irish nach (“and not”).[1]
