nerú is one of the few nouns in High Eolic borrowed from Vitrian, from ñorói ‘mare’.

There are several other words in High Eolic that can be traced to Hadrian through Vitrian, mostly (but not exclusively) words referring to horse-related concepts or objects (e.g. tussá ‘mottled/dappled’ (esp. of animals), atti ‘chair, seat’ from Vitrian éiti ‘saddle’ etc.)

Listen to the example sentence here: W_HE_082_lasina_example
lasina is borrowed from Trevecian layhêna ‘hall’, reflecting the Trevecian-Oleric connotations of organized education in Eoleon. The word was first used by Callútut in prescriptions for the education of Oleric reciters, but is now used more generally for any educational space or institution (including military training centers).
