Ice, in my words (revised) + ices

glise : ice

The Illunse word for ice is glise. Glise is a last name. In Norwegian glise means grin. In Old English similar word glisian mean to shine, glisten.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for ice which is glacies (like the word glacier), and the Old English word for ice which is ís.
.
My previous Illunse word for ice was gise. A small change, I added the L.

Here's a link to Ice, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words.

glisan : ices

The Illunse word for ices (nominative plural) is glisan. Glisan is a last name.

Ices in Latin is glaciei. Ices in Old English is ís (same as the singular).

It's nice thinking of ice on a hot summer day.
