Italic (*anati-), Germanic (*anití-, *anutí-) and
Balto-Slavic (*an"ti-) have full grade of the root, though,
and therefore a vocalized laryngeal (*h2an&-tí-).
The Greek form seems to be missing a laryngeal (*h2nh2-tíh2
would have given *anassa, like *h1nh3-mn(t)-' gives
onomat-). Greek na:ssa must come from *n.h2-tíh2 (we cannot
tell if there was pre-aspiration, because -t-ja and -th-ja
both give -ssa/-tta).
Skt. a:tís, f. a:ti: "a kind of waterfowl" (exact meaning
unknown) has also been connected with ON æ:ðr, Swe. åda f.
`Eidergans' < Gmc. *a:di:- (see Pokorny). It can of course
also come from *(H)n.H-tís ~ *(H)n.H-tíh2, provided the
laryngeal is *h3, as suggested by u-colouring in Germanic
*anudi- (*h2en&3-tí-) and perhaps Slavic *an?tuh2.
