Ancient, in my words

arisc : ancient

The Illunse word for ancient is arisc. Ad Arisc is the name of a city in Ethiopia. ARISC is an acronym for Army Reserve Intelligence Support Center.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for ancient ǽrest (first, before all, most former, ancient), which I transliterate to aerest, and the Latin word for ancient priscus (ancient, early, former, primative).
