From Proto-Altaic *mi̯ū́ĺi (hail, ice).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(Dãterške): /ṽʲɵʎ/

Noun

вңёљ • (ṽøł)

1. lazurite, a deep blue tectosilicate mineral which forms the base of most lapis lazuli

Notes

Due to the intermittent volcanism which formed & sustained the Fahrenheit archipelago, it's not uncommon to find lazurite in its pure crystalline form where one would expect lapis lazuli.
