Altaic etymology :

Proto-Altaic: *nèra
Meaning: thin, flat
Russian meaning: тонкий, плоский
Comments: If the Korean form is related here, it must be one of the irregular cases of *n- lost in front of -j-, -i- already in Middle Korean; however, since the -jǝ- diphthong is also not quite regular, the Korean match is rather questionable.

Comments: EDT 967, VEWT 189, 190, ЭСТЯ 4, 143, Лексика 334-335.
