* ''(Standard Eorzean)'' [[IPA]]: [neɾov]

===Etymology===

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.

====Notes====

Note that this is more broad than [[erfon]], which refers to humans (those races that have continuity with the Ancients), or to the Ancients themselves, specifically.
