Bell, in my words

belca : bell

The Illunse word for bell is belca. Belca is a last name. Belca is the name of a city in Slovenia.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for a bell which is belle, and the Latin word for a bell which is campana.

If I'm following the ways of Old English and Latin grammar, belca is a feminine noun. In Spanish the word for bell is campana, same as Latin, and it's grammatically feminine too.
