Both seems to derive from the same *n, don't they? At least so I have
the explanation here.

"Lat. "in" kann an sich sowohl auf idg. *en wie auf *n ( vgl. Lith. "i",
Greek "a") zurückgehen.

As for negative_ particle Rom has "ne" as negative particle which is
given as coming from Slavic "ne". Take a big look how not only the
vocative in "o", but even the negation particle is comming from
Slavic:-))
So far I know, the BaltoSlavic lost this reflex of PIE *n and there is a
thrace of it in the Russian ne-jeverU, ne-jesytU. How you see then the
loan from Slavic "ne" now into Rom? Or better said, if the Baltosdlavic
lost it, how did they got it again, if the Rom. "ne" is a loan from
Slavic?
