I am not sure; please see "neg", "negarã". One can derive them just from
an "*nekW-"
for Rum. "neg" there is given Latin "naevus" and for "negarã" = unknown
etymology
and "neghinã"= unknown etymology. All og them are related by the meaning
"black".
I guess we should let by side the "g" in Latin or we have to corelate it
with some other languages [ :-) ]
where "k" became "g" in certain conditions. Just to remember, Latin
"vitricus" became somewhere "vitreg".
