Regarding Romanian anina 'hang v.' : I consider it a good candidate,
to be a subtratual word.

The ending -na could well reflect -neh2/-nh2 PIE verbal suffix, but
is not clear for me, if there are some other PIE examples in other
languages reflecting verbs in -i-nah2 or -i-nh2- and not only -nah2/-
nh2

Any help here?

P.S. : http://dexonline.ro/search.php?cuv=anina
DEX '*ad *ninna' for 'hang' is not a serious etymology.
