History of Avrid: Difference between revisions

The name Avrid as mentioned above derived from the Tevrés word ''Avríd''.  This in turn comes from the Medieval Talothic ''Aplidhýn'' ({{IPA-all|apliˈðy(n)|}}), via Ilessu ''Abride'' ({{IPA-all|ɐˈbɾidɨ|}}).  ''Aplidýn'' derives from Classical Talothic ''Apleidoión'' ({{IPA-all|apleːdoi̯ón|}}), meaning 'that which is upon Pleidos.'  Pleidos was an ancient Talothic mythical figure; a titan upon whose corpse it was believed the world lay.  Despite the ancient origins of the word, its usage only became widespread from the Medieval Age forward.
