maer : sea
The Illunse word for sea is maer. Maer is a last name. In Danish similar mær means bitch or tart. In Faroese similar mær means me. In Icelandic similar mær means (poetic) maiden. Maer is the name of a couple places in England.
This word is a mixture of the Latin word for sea which is mare or maris, and the Old English word for sea which is sæ which is close to the Modern English word sea.
My previous Illunse word for sea was maera. This is a small change.
Here's a link to Sea, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words.
