Ancient Greek[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Hellenic *aná. Beekes' derivation from *h₂en- doesn't explain the second syllable.[1] LIPP reconstructs Proto-Indo-European *áno (“up, over, along”).[2] For /o/ > /a/ a vowel harmony is posited, cf. παρά (pará), κατά (katá), ἄ
The genitive is an innovated Greek associative. The dative is from the PIE locative. The accusative is from the pre-PIE directional.
