Leafing through a Latin grammar I came across ave (imp.), avere
(inf.) "live well and prosper" (as people said then), or "Hi!", which
the book remarked might be a calque from a similar Punic greeting
(probably the Semitic cognate Møller quotes).
BTW if ne ...s-yú (a locative of *ai-? cf. loc.sg. -i, loc.pl. -si, -
su) is responsible for the -syo gen. suffix of the thematic stems of
some IE languages, then ne ...s-ayw, accusative, might be responsible
for Germanic, and Slavic c^eso "whose"?
