Nostys

NOSTỸS

Etymology

Cf. Nastỹs, Nostis (see). Perhaps nicknames, derived from lit. to carry „gydyti“, cf. pregnancy „nenaudėlė, pliuškė, tinginė“ (LKŽ VIII 872). But we cannot ignore the possible origin from a longer name - Anastãsijus (see Nastỹs) or something like thimm.

Feminine FORMS

Nostienė / Nostytė

Pronunciation

/noː²ˈsʲtʲiːs/
