Nostalgia, snake & nose

*nes- `to come safely home'. 1. Alb. <këndell> `to revive, vitalize,
refresh after long journey, disease, to return in previous state',
standard form with homorganic /d/, from *ko(m)-nes-lo > knell, that
explains the lack of diphthongized *e before a cluster of
consonants: Old Norse nest `food for a journey: Greek nostos `a
return home', hence nostalgia. 2a. <ndjell> `to evoke, augur; to use
food to entice; to lure, attract' from suffixed form *nes-lo >
njell; <ndjell> is secondary form with homorganic /d/;
<ndjellamirë> `of good omen', <ndjellakeq/ndjellazi> `of ill omen,
ominous'. (Pokorny nes- 766.)

*ne:-tr- `snake'. 1. Alb. <nëpërkë> `asp, adder' probably from
extended and suffixed form *nH1p-er-ko: Latin natrix: OIr nathir:
Old English naedre. (Pokorny ne:-tr- 767.)

*neu-ks- `to smell'. 1. Alb. <hundë> `nose', standard form with
homorganic /d/, older form preserved in Slavic loan <hun-kati>,
probably from suffixed metathetesized zero-grade form *ksun-teH2 >
PAlb *hunna: Old English nosu `id.': Russian njuhati `to sniff',
Serbian njušiti `id.'. (Pokorny neu-ks- 768.)
