Green, my words (revised)

geird : green

The Illunse word for the color green is geird. Geird is an unusual last name. Geird is a rare first name, similar Geirdis is an Icelandic feminine first name.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for green which is gréne, and the Latin word for green viridis.

OK, I'm changing my word for green again. I think this new word, geird, is a better alphabetic mix of Old English and Latin.

Here's a link to Green, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words.
