weag : road
The Illunse word for road is weag. Weag is an unusual last name. WEAG AM/FM are radio stations in Florida.
This word is a mixture of the Latin word for road which is via (way, road, street; journey), and the Old English word for road which is weg (way, direction; path, road, highway; journey; course of action).
My previous word for road was wea. I'm changing this word, in part, because the Old English word wéa means woe, grief, misery, evil.
Here's a link to Road, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words.
