Air, in my words (revised) + airs

lyfa : air

The Illunse word for air is lyfa. Lyfa Danish Modern lamps. Lyfa is a very rare first name that can be feminine.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for air which is aer (air (one of 4 elements); atmosphere, sky), and Old English word for air which is lyft (air, sky, clouds, atmosphere).

My previous word for air was lafe.

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

lyfae : airs

The Illunse word for airs (nominative plural) is lyfae. Lyfae is a rare first name.

Airs in Latin is aeris. Airs in Old English is lyfta.

The plural, airs, is new.

By the way, I altered the previous word, earth, from erta to erte.

Earth, in my words (revised) + earths

erte : earth

The Illunse word for earth is erte. Erte is an uncommon last name. Similar Erté was a Russian-born French artist and designer. Erte means steep in Italian. Erte is the name of a place in Chad.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for earth terra (earth, land, ground; country) and the Old English word for earth which is eorðe (the earth, ground, soil; dry land; the Earth as a planet; land, country) (I transliterate the Old English letter eth (ð) to th -> eorthe).

Erte is the Illunse word for earth as land or ground, and as a classical, metaphysical element. Erte will not be the word for Earth as a planet, as Latin has another word, Tellus, for that.

My previous word for earth was erta. This is a small change.

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

ertan : earths

The Illunse word for earths (nominative plural) is ertan. Ertan is an uncommon masculine first name that can be Turkish. Ertan is an unusual last name. Ertan is the name of a place in China.

Earths in Latin is terrae. Earths in Old English is eorðan.

The plural, earths, is new. Setting the nominative case plural will help me with declension.

Fire, in my words + fires

ifyn : fire

The Illunse word for fire is ifyn. Ifyn is a rare last name. Ifyn is possibly a rare first name.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for fire which is ignis and the Old English word for fire which is fyr.

This is the current word for fire.

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

ifynas : fires

The Illunse word for fires (nominative plural) is ifynas.

Fires in Latin is ignis (same as the singular). Fires in Old English is fýr (same as the singular). Even though the words for fires and fire are the same in Latin and Old English, I'm not going to follow that example in Illunse.

Fires, the plural, is new. What with all the terrible wildfires currently burning in Colorado, fire is a word currently in the news.

Water, in my words (revised) + waters

awer : water

The Illunse word for water is awer. Awer is an uncommon last name. Awer is a rare masculine first name. Awer means but in Low German. Awer is the name of places in Indonesia and Uganda.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for water which is aqua, and the Old English word for water which is wæter.
.
My previous Illunse word for water was acwe. That was an interesting word, but perhaps too complicated.

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

awera : waters

The Illunse word for waters (nominative plural) is awera. Awera Island Surf Camp in the Mentawai Islands of Indonesia. Awera is a rare language of the island of New Guinea. Awera is the name of places in Pakistan..

Waters in Latin is aquae. Waters in Old English is wæter (same as the singular).

The plural, waters, is new.
