    We study the generation of neutrino masses in the SU(3)WSU(3)_W electroweak unified theory in M4Γ—S1/(Z2Γ—Z2β€²)M_4\times S_1/(Z_2\times Z'_2) spacetime. By appropriate orbifolding, the bulk symmetry SU(3)WSU(3)_W is broken into SU(2)LΓ—U(1)YSU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y at one of the fixed points, where the quarks reside. The leptons form SU(3)WSU(3)_W triplets, localized at the other symmetric fixed point. The fermion masses arise from the bulk Higgs sector containing a triplet and an anti-sextet. We construct neutrino Majorana masses via 1-loop quantum corrections by adding a parity odd bulk triplet scalar. No right-handed neutrino is needed. The neutrino mass matrix is of the inverted hierarchy type. We show that the model can easily accommodate the bi-large mixing angle solution favored by the recent neutrino experiments without much fine tuning of parameters. The constraints from \mu\ra 3e transition and neutrinoless double beta decays are discussed.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure
