Etymology
From Proto-Indo-Korinthic *níos (man, person), from Proto-Indo-Korinthic root *ní- (to do with people). Compare Korstek ňa (man), ňes (woman), and ňos (person).

- person
- Joj ǰin al ňos

Prefix
ňos
- used to form an agentive noun along with the suffix ský when the agent is a person.
- DŽin al ňostravek-ský
- I am a worker.
- DŽin al ňostravek-ský
Inflection
In words using ňos as a prefix, the plural marker may sometimes follow the ňos prefix instead of coming at the end of the word.
In general, unless the agentive suffix -ský is also present, the plural marker follows the ňos. In cases where ňos is used to indicate nationality, it remains lower-case at all times.
