Of unclear origin. The traditional connection toνέω(néō,“to swim”) is phonologically improbable due to the latter continuing the rootProto-Indo-European*(s)neh₂-(“to flow; to swim”), though similarities withOld Armenianնայ(nay,“wet, fluid”) are notable. Beekes, based on the lack of solid internal derivation, tentatively suggests aPre-Greek borrowing,^[1] perhaps Southern. If the Armenian is related, it may derive from the same substrate continuum.
