snedre : snake
The Illunse word for snake is snedre. Snedre is a rare last name.
This word is a mixture of the Old English word for snake nǽdre (adder, snake, serpent, viper, any kind of snake), and the Latin word for snake serpens (serpent, snake).
My previous Illunse word for snake was senerd. I decided to shuffle the letters into something harsher looking, perhaps more snake-like. Senerd looked vaguely French, nothing against the French, but I'm trying to look more like gnarly Old English.
If you're interested, here's link to my earlier post, Snake, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words.
