Deshayes, Albert: 539-540

S.v. Bret. nos 'nuit, soir', from Old Breton nos 'nuit', corresponding to Co. nôs (OCo. nos), W nos, and OIr. nocht, all going back to Celtic *nok-ti-, apparently from Lat. nox.

Falileyev, Alexander: 121

S.v. Old Welsh nos 'night' (MW nos, OC nos, OB nos; cf. OIr. innocht < PIE *nokʷt-stu-, IE *nekʷ-(t-), *nokʷ-(t-).

Hock, Wolfgang and Fecht, Rainer and Feulner, Anna Helene and Hill, Eugen and Wodtko, Dagmar S.: 683-684

S.v. OLith. naktìs 'Nacht' (BSl. Latv. nakts 'Nacht', OPr. naktin 'Nacht', OCS noštь), from PIE *negʷ- 'dunkel werden, dämmern' *nókʷ-t-, *nekʷ-t- 'Nacht' (cf. Hitt. nekuz (mēhur) 'Abend(zeit)', Ved. nákt- 'Nacht', Gk. νύξ, νυκτός 'Nacht', Alb natë 'Nacht, Morgendämmerung', Lat. nox, noctis 'Nacht', OIr. innocht 'heute Nacht', OW nos 'Nacht', Bret. noz 'id.', Goth. nahts 'Nacht', TochA nokte (adv.) 'nachts').

Kloekhorst, Alwin: 602

Cf. s.v. Hitt. neku- 'to become evening', reconstructing the original root alternatively as *negʷʰ- on the basis of Gk. ἔννυχος 'nightly' and the Hitt. velar <-ku->.

Kroonen, Guus: 381

S.v. Proto-Germanic *naht- 'night', from PIE *nokʷ-t- (cf. Hitt. nekuz 'in the evening' < *nekʷ-t-s; Gk. νύξ, νυκτός 'night', Lat. nox, noctis 'id.', Lith. naktìs 'id.', OCS noštь 'id.' < *nokʷ-t-).

Matasović, Ranko: 293-294

S.v. Proto-Celtic *noxtV- 'night', from PIE *nokʷt- 'night' (cf. Hitt. nekuz (mēhur) 'at the time of night', Skt. nákt-, Gk. νύξ, Lat. nox, Lith. naktìs, OCS noštь, Alb. natë, TochB nekcīye 'at night'). Matasović considers the Middle Welsh nos a loanword from Lat. nox., but cf. [Falileyev 2000](src-240):121 who considers it inherited.

Mayrhofer, Manfred: II:2-3

S.v. Ved. nakt- 'Nacht' (YAv. upa.naxtar- 'an die Nacht angrenzend', Wakhi naγd 'Nacht'), from PIE *nókʷt-s (nom.sg.) ~ nékʷt-s 'Nacht', perhaps assimilated from *ne/ogʷ-t-, cf. Hitt. ne-ku-[uz]-zi 'wird Abend' < *negʷ-ti. Cf. Hitt. nekuz (gen.sg.) 'of the evening', Gk. νύξ (νύκτ-), Lat. nox (noct-), Goth. nahts, Lith. naktìs, OCS noštь, etc. 'Nacht'.

Orel, Vladimir: 282-283

S.v. Alb. natë 'night', from Proto-Albanian *nakti- corresponding to IE *nokʷt- (cf. Skt. nakt-, Gk. νύξ, Lat. nox, etc.).

Rix, Helmut: 449

Cf. s.v. *negʷ- 'dunkel werden, dämmern' (IEW 762-3). As a verbal root only Hittite (Hitt. nekuzzi 'es wird dunkel, es dämmert' < *negʷ-/n̥gʷ-). Cf. n1 regarding the derived t-stem *nógʷt-/*négʷt- 'Abend, Nacht'.

Schrijver, Peter: 173-174, 24

The Brittonic forms MW, MCorn., OBr., MBr. nos 'night' etc. are based on *nox(s)s < PIE *nókʷts. Contrary to this, it is traditionally assumed that nos is based on a suffixed form PCl. *noxt-stu-, as suggested by Pedersen (1909, 123) and followed e.g. by Fleuriot (1964a, 271), Matasović (2009, 294). PIE *nokʷ-t- is also found in the adverb OW henoid, MW henoeth, MBr. henoez, MCorn. haneth 'tonight', lit. 'this night', which contains pronominal *se- or *so- as a first element and Dat/Loc.Sg. PCl. *noxt-i or AccSg. *noxt-am as a second (Schrijver 1997, 24).

Steblin-Kamenskij, I. M.: 242

S.v. Wa. naɣ̌d 'ночь', from Old Iranian *naγda- < *naxta(r)- (cf. Av. [upa.]naxtar-, Ved. nákt-, Lat. noct-is).

Trubačev, O. N.: 25: 175-177

S.v. PS *noktĭ.

Wodtko, Dagmar S. and Irslinger, Britta and Schneider, Carolin: 504-513

S.v. 1. *negʷ- 'dunkel werden, dämmern' (LIV 449, IEW 762f.). PIE nom.sg. *nokʷt-, gen.sg. *nekʷt- 'night' from the root *negʷ- 'to become dark' (LIV 449) with devoicing of the final consonant next to *-t-. See fn. 1 with a discussion of the different stem analyses and inflectional patterns which have been suggested for PIE.

de Vaan, Michiel: 416-417

S.v. Lat. nox 'night', from PIE *nógʷʰ-t-s (nom.sg.), négʷʰ-t-s (gen.sg.) 'night', following the root reconstruction of Kloekhorst (2008:602).
