Pronunciation: [njˈuːz] (IPA) 
The Dutch word "neus" is a tricky one to spell. IPA phonetic transcription can help explain why. The "n" sound is easy enough, but the "eu" sound is a bit different. It's pronounced like "u" in "duke" or "juice" in English. So, the "eu" is represented by the letter combination "eu". Finally, the "s" sound is straightforward. Put it all together and we get the correct spelling of "neus", pronounced /nøs/ in IPA phonetic transcription.
The word "neus" has its origins in the Old English word "nosu" which eventually evolved into the Middle English word "nose". This Middle English form is derived from the Old English word "nefus", which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "nefuz". The Proto-Germanic word is thought to have come from the Proto-Indo-European root word "nas", meaning "nose". This root can be found in various other Indo-European languages, including Latin "nasus" and Greek "násos". Ultimately, the word "neus" has a long lineage dating back to the ancient Proto-Indo-European language.
