Son, in my words

fulis : son

The Illunse word for son is fulis. Fulis is an unusual last name. Fulis is the name of a town in Papua New Guinea.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for son which is filius, and the Old English word for son which is sunu (son, descendant).

Fulis ends with the common letter s. Many nominative singular Latin nouns end with s. I haven't been ending many Illunse nouns this way.
