Candle, in my words

cendal : candle

The Illunse word for candle is cendal. Cendal is a last name, although Kendal is much more common. Cendal means gauze in Spanish and Portuguese.

This word is a mixture of the the Latin word for candle which is candela (a wax or tallow candle, taper; a cord coated with wax), and the Old English word for candle which is candel (lamp, lantern, candle).

As the Old English word was derived from the Latin word, I didn't have much to work with. Instead of scrambling the letters into some strange word, I decided to swap around the vowels. Cendal is a word that looks somewhat like candle, yet is different.
