After, in my words

paeft : after

The Illunse word for after is paeft. Similar Paeff is an unusual last name. Similar Old English word pæð (which I transliterate to paeth) means path, track.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for after æfter (after, along, behind; throughout, during; following, in consequence of) and the Latin word for after post (behind in space, after in time; subordinate in rank).

Before, in my words

anbor : before

The Illunse word for before is anbor. Anbor is a rare last name. Anbor is small island in the Marshall Islands.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for before beforan (before; in front of, in the presence of; prior to, sooner than) and the Latin word for before ante (in front/presence of, in view; before in space/time/degree; over against, facing).

Another Old English word that can mean the preposition before is tóforan ((time and place) before; (superiority) above, over, beyond).
