aluth : white
The Illunse word for the color white (dull or matte) is aluth. Aluth is a rare last name. Aluth likely means new in Sinhalese (transliterated).
This word is a mixture of the Latin word for white which is albus, and the Old English word for white which is hwit.
My previous word for white was alith. This is a minor change, a vowel change.
This month I'm revisiting some of my Illunse words on Twitter, starting with colors. This is a step towards restarting my work on Illunse and this blog.
Here's a link to White, in J.R.R Tolkien's words.
