What it means
Open English WordNet defines lemmas, and newer is not one of them. The nearest lemma it does define is new — not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered. The rule that found it is on the sources page; nothing here claims a grammatical relation.
How it sounds
