Ah, that's good. Nereus, Nera and nero:ve. Some IE God of Waters? The same *Ap-Nepo:t ?
 
And the ending -E:US in Greek? It's have an IE origin?

There likely is a connection between Nereus and the Irish Nera (who seems to be a late reflection of the Gaulish god Nerios, the tutelary divinity of the healing waters at Neris-les-Bains, France).

Is there any relation between Greek Ne:reus, marine god, and Lithuanian nero:ve "undina" ?
