"νηρίτης" meaning in Ancient Greek

See νηρίτης in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /nɛː.rǐː.tɛːs/, /niˈri.tis/, /niˈri.tis/, /nɛː.rǐː.tɛːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ne̝ˈri.te̝s/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /niˈri.tis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /niˈri.tis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /niˈri.tis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The connection with νηρόν (nērón, “water”) is refuted by the forms with the vocalic anlaut “α-”. Furnée takes this initial variation as evidence for a Pre-Greek origin. Plevačová draws the term to Finnish nieriä (“saibling”) – which see for more relatives –, downplaying the semantic difference by noting that both are longish sea creatures caught in a fisher’s net and the contexts in which the Greek and Latin are attested may as well point to a fish.
