Table, in my words (revised)

emba : table

The Illunse word for table is emba. Emba is an unusual last name. Emba is the name of a village in Cyprus. The Emba River in Kazakhstan.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for table which is mensa (table; course, meal; banker's counter), and the Old English word for table which is béod (table; bowl, dish).

My previous Illunse word for table was meba. That word, in my opinion, just didn't work. I shifted the letters around to make my new word.

Last month's word topic was adjectives. This month, I didn't decide what in particular to do. So, I guess I'll start off with some word revisions.
