Etymology
Similar interjections can be found in other Finnic languages (compare Estonianno, noh, Ingrianno, Karelianno, Livonianno, noh, Ludianno, Voticno) and possibly also in other Uralic languages (compare Komi-Zyrianно(no), Udmurtно(no)). Compare also to those found in neighboring Indo-European languages (such as Swedishnå, Latviannu, Russianну(nu)), which may all trace back as far as Proto-Indo-European*nu. SSA concludes that the interjection is probably part original and part foreign.
