Doesn't seem Polish at all. Any references apart from the above page? [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 21:35, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)

I don't think the neuri are polish at all. Most of the material is derived right out of Herodotus's Histories.

[edit] Herodotus

Herodotus IV: Above the mart of the Borysthenites, which is situated in the very centre of the whole sea-coast of Scythia, the first people who inhabit the land are the Callipedae, a Greco-Scythic race. Next to them, as you go inland, dwell the people called the Alazonians. These two nations in other respects resemble the Scythians in their usages, but sow and eat corn, also onions, garlic, lentils, and millet. Beyond the Alazonians reside Scythian cultivators, who grow corn, not for their own use, but for sale. Still higher up are the Neuri. Northwards of the Neuri the continent, as far as it is known to us, is uninhabited. These are the nations along the course of the river Hypanis, west of the Borysthenes
