fetrel : window
The Illunse word for window is fetrel. Fetrel is an unusual last name that can be French.
This word is a mixture of the Latin word for window which is fenestra (window, opening for light; loophole, breach), and the Old English word for window which is éagþyrel (eye-hole, window), which I transliterate to eagthyrel.
I expected the Old English word to look somewhat like the Modern English word window, but obviously no such luck.
