veor : boar
The Illunse word for boar is veor. Veor is a rare last name. Veor Cove is a beach in Cornwall, UK.
This word is a mixture of the Old English word for boar which is eofor (boar, wild boar, boar image on a helmet) or bár, and the Latin word for boar which is verres (boar, uncastrated male hog or swine; wild boar).
My previous Illunse word for boar was veore. I decided to drop the final e, which in Illunse is not silent.
Old English doesn't include the letter V, but Latin does.
