Etymology

From Old Norse gnúa, from Proto-Germanic *ganū(w)aną, cognate with Gothic 𐌱𐌽𐌰𐌿𐌰𐌽 (bnauan).

Pronunciation

Verb

núa (ri-verb, third-person singular past indicative neri or néri, supine núið)

  1. to rub, to chafe

Usage notes

  • 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.
