A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “rat” derived from primitive ᴹ✶nyadrō under the root ᴹ√NYAD “gnaw” (Ety/NYAD). In The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road, the form was incorrectly given as nyano (LR/379), but Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne corrected this to nyarro in their Addenda and Corrigenda to the Etymologies (VT46/7).
