Τιμώμενοι γὰρ πάντες ἥδονται βροτοί → Omnes enim homines honorari expetunt → Denn alle Menschen sehen sich recht gern geehrt

Menander, Monostichoi, 513

a root probably identical with that of נֵר, through the idea of the gleam of a fresh furrow; to till the soil: break up.
or nir; from נִיר; properly, plowing, i.e. (concretely) freshly plowed land: fallow ground, plowing, tillage.
