  • Nu: Egyptian god, personification of the primordial watery abyss. "I raised them up from out of the watery mass [nu], out of inactivity." Budge (1904), Egyptian Book of the Dead, p.284.
  • Mere: in Anglo English, a mere is a lake that is broad but shallow. Etymologically, mere means sea or lake - which makes sense in context of "nu mere" -- the primordial watery abyss.

Dan. 'now more'
