Oven, in my words

ofrune : oven

The Illunse word for oven is ofrune. If you put a space between the F and R, you get "of rune".

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for oven which is ofen (oven, furnace), and the Latin word for oven which is furnus (oven, bakery).

Ofrune is not the Illunse word for kiln. There are other Old English and Latin words that mean kiln, an oven used to fire such things as bricks.
