Leather, in my words + leathers

coreth : leather

The Illunse word for leather is coreth. Coreth is a rare last name. Mark Coreth is a British artist. Coreth is a rare first name.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for leather leþer (which I transliterate to lether) (hide, skin, leather; although it's found only in compound words) or the adjective leathern which is leðren; and the Latin word for leather which is corium (skin / leather / hide).

This is a new word.

corethi : leathers

The Illunse word for leathers is corethi. Corethi is a rare first name.

Leathers in Latin is coria. Leathers in Old English is leþer (which I transliterate to lether) (same as the singular).
