hud : house
The Illunse word for house is hud. Hud is a last name. HUD is an acronym for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. In Welsh hud means magic. In Danish, Norwegian and Swedish hud means skin, hide. Hud is the name of small cities in Iran and Sweden.
This word is a mixture of the Old English word for house which is hús (house; temple, tabernacle; dwelling-place; inn; household; family), and the Latin word for house which is domus (house, building; home, household).
The Latin word aedes was considered for house. But that word seems to primarily mean a building of religious significance, such as a chapel.
A house isn't technically "in a home", my word theme for the month. But I found the words for house when reseaching the words for for home. House and home are not quite the same things.
