Cat, in my words (revised) + cats

faelc : cat

The Illunse word for cat is faelc. Similar Faelk is a rare last name.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for cat feles and the Old English word for cat which is catt.

Another word for cat in Latin is catus.

My previous Illunse word for cat was felca.

faelcas : cats

The Illunse word for cats (nominative plural) is faelcas.

Cats in Latin is felis. Cats in Old English is cattas.

Here's a link to Cat, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words. I couldn't find a Sindarin word for cat, and the Quenya words are unusual.
