rêaʻ
to your neighbor
A person with whom one shares a social bond or association; encompasses meanings ranging from friend or companion to neighbor and fellow member of a community. The term can denote a close associate, an ally, a peer, or any other socially connected individual, but lacks the sense of a family member or kin. Depending on context, it may indicate both mutual intimacy (as in a close friend) and general social proximity (such as a neighbor or fellow citizen). It does not inherently denote affection, but rather social association or relevant group belonging.
