Swamp, in my words (revised) + swamps

saemp : swamp

The Illunse word for swamp is saemp. Saemp is a rare last name. Similar samp is coasely ground corn (maize) used for porridge.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for swamp palus (swamp, marsh), and the Old English word for swamp mersc (marsh, swamp).

My previous word for swamp was sceal. Since I had a M and a P available, I decided to make this look like the word swamp.
