Three, in my words (revised)

ther : three

The Illunse word for three is ther. Ther is a last name. Ther is the name of cities in Pakistan and India. Ther is a misspelling of there or their.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for three which is þríe, which I transliterate to thrie (the beginning letter is what is called thorn, which can be translated to modern th), and the Latin word for three which is tres

My previous Illunse word for three was thes.
