verenc : spring
The Illunse word for spring (season) is verenc. Similar word Ferenc is a masculine first name, the Hungarian equivalent of Francis.
This word is a mixture of the Latin word for spring which is ver and the Old English word for spring which is lencten (the fast of Lent).
My previous Illunse word for spring was ferent. I'm modifying this word because I defined my Illunse word for strong (forant) to be too similar to it. Also, when revising, I decided to keep the V from the Latin word, and not transform it into a F. Old English doesn't use V.
Here's a link to Spring, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words.
