chale : steel
The Illunse word for steel is chale. Chale is a last name. In Mexican-American slang chale means "Hell No!" and it's not an offensive word. Chale is the name of cities in the Malawi, Georgia (the country, not in the USA), Mozambique, United Kingdom, Tanzania, Peru, Somalia, and Zambia.
This word is a mixture of the Latin word for steel which is chalybs, and the Old English word for steel which is stíele.
This is a new word, not a revision.
