Nuru - Any meaning ?

[adrianm]

Hi,
Can anybody (J native speaker) translate this word for me please ? I tried to find out if the meaning would be 'slippery' But it seems not to be the case. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Adrian

That would be a mimetic word, although it's usually used as "nurunuru" or "nuruxtu", not just "nuru".

When you looked it up you probably found the verb "nuru", which is what confused you.

Thank you for your reply. Sofar, NURU has no meaning. Good. By the way: What is nurnuru or nurxtu ?

It can have meaning. It can exactly express something is 'slippery', as "nurunuru" does.
