Icelandic edit
Etymology edit
From Old Norse gnúa, from Proto-Germanic *ganū(w)aną, cognate with Gothic 𐌱𐌽𐌰𐌿𐌰𐌽 (bnauan).
Pronunciation edit
Verb edit
núa (ri-verb, third-person singular past indicative neri or néri, supine núið)
Usage notes edit
- One of the four ri-verbs in Icelandic, the other being snúa (“to turn”), gróa (“to grow; to heal”) and róa (“to row”).
- As with the other ri-verbs, the past tense neri was originally pronounced with an e sound but is today pronounced with a é sound. There are therefore two spelling variants used: neri and néri. The Icelandic Ministry of Education considers both variants to be equally correct,[1] but many speakers consider the original neri spelling to be the more correct one.
Synonyms edit
- (to rub): nudda
