Hot, in my words

hald : hot

The Illunse word for hot is hald. Hald is a last name. Hald is the name of several cities in Denmark and a town in Norway. Hald translates to hold, fastening in Old Icelandic.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for hot which is hát and the Latin word for hot which is calidus or caldus.

This is a new word for Illunse. I didn't have a word for hot before.
