Home, in my words

hom : home

The Illunse word for home is hom. Hom is a last name. In Catalan hom means one (pronoun not number). In Dutch hom means roe (fish eggs). Hom is the name of small cities in Denmark, Slovenia and Norway. Hom is the name of a town in China.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for home which is hám (village, hamlet, manor, estate; home, dwelling, house), and the Latin word for home which is domus (house, building; home, household).

Yes, I know that this Illunse word is very close to the Modern English word.

The picture shows an Anglo-Saxon home. It's from an UK school's website discussing history.
