It seems there is the same thratament as in Romanian. And I will give
now "c^evo" versu romanian "c^va" or "nishto" whereby the serbian
counterpart "neshto" sound more better for the romanian "nishte". And
they are not related , so it said.
Romanian "ceva"= cf DEX ="ce"( Latin que ) + "va"=???
Romanian "nishte"= cf DEX Latin "nescio quid"= " I dont know what". In
Serbian "neshto"= something, in Romanian nishte= some

I am sure you don't see them related too, or?
