Low, in my words

nedris : low

The Illunse word for low is nedris. Nedris is an rare last name.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for low which is niðerlic, which I transliterate to nitherlic, (low (of position), low-lying, inferior, lowly; low, humble), and the Latin word for low which is demissus (low / low-lying; of low altitude; keeping low (people); slanting/hanging/let down).

There's another Latin word for low, humilis (low, lowly, small, slight, base, mean, humble, obscure, poor, insignificant). I decided not to use this word because it seems to me to apply more to people than to things, such as the Modern English word humble.
