North, in my words

seneth : north

The Illunse word for north is seneth. Seneth is a last name.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for north which is septentrio (which refers to the seven stars of Ursa Major or Ursa Minor) and the Old English word for north which is norĂ° (which can be transliterated to north).

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do you combine compass directions to get "southeast", "north-by-northwest" etc.?
