Wet, in my words

umet : wet

The Illunse word for wet is umet. In Czech umět means can, be able, know how to. Umet is the name of a handful of towns in Russia.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for wet which is umidus (humidus) (wet, moist, damp, dry, humid), and the Old English word for wet which is wǽt (wet, moist, rainy).

I decided not to start this word with W. I've made a number of adjectives starting with the letter W lately.
