From Lominsan ''neruv'', influenced by Midlander ''neroɣefa''. Both of these derive from Allagan ''nérogev'' "spoken". This comes from an unusual derivation in late Amaurotine, where the patient adjective prefix ''wŋe-'' was added to derive an agent noun from ''ɬɔɣɛv'' "to speak". Other words following this pattern indicate a use of patient prefixes as dative prefixes (i.e. the correct gloss should be "spoken ''to''"), but this is not certain. | From Lominsan ''neruv'', influenced by Midlander ''neroɣefa''.
