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

1. to rub, to chafe

   Synonym: nudda

• 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.
