Cognate with Old Frisian nī, Old Saxon niuwi, Old High German niuwi, Old Norse nýr, and Gothic 𐌽𐌹𐌿𐌾𐌹𐍃 (niujis). Extra-Germanic cognates include Lithuanian naũjas, Old Irish nuae, and Sanskrit नव्य (návya). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈni͜yː.we/ === Adjective === nīewe new The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle late 9th century, King Alfred's translation of Boethius' The Consolation of Philosophy ==== Usage notes ==== The combining form is nī- when used adverbially, that is with verbs and verbal derivatives: nībacen (“fresh-baked”), nīcenned (“newborn”). While nīewe is the expected outcome of Proto-Germanic *niwjaz in the Early West Saxon dialect, the form nīwe is much more common within the corpus, almost to the total exclusion of the expected form. As the Late West Saxon of Ælfric also exclusively uses the form nīwe, and never *nȳwe, it is likely that the EWS nīwe form reflects a genuine, irregular sound change, predating the smoothing of the īe diphthong in LWS. This change is also seen in hīew. ==== Declension ==== ==== Antonyms ==== eald ==== Derived terms ==== ælnīewe (“brand new”) ednīewe (“renew”) nīewan (“recently”) nīewlīċe (“recently”) nīewnes (“novelty”) ==== Descendants ==== Middle English: newe, new, neue, nywe, neowe (Early Middle English or West Midland)English: newScots: new
