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|}}).  ''Aplidhýn'' 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.  This name is common throughout the Aeranid languages: Sentigneis ''Avri'' ({{IPA-all|avʁi|}}), Morraol ''Avrit'' ({{IPA-all|avˈɾit|}}), Deres ''Ăpride'' ({{IPA-all|əˈpride|}}), Iscariano ''Appridi'' ({{IPA-all| äpːˈriːdi|}}), etc..  In Fasser, the world is called ''Sighma't'' ({{IPA-all|sɪɣˈmæʔt|}}) meaning 'beneath heaven.' The New Aeranid term ''Aplīdiun'' is an anachronism.  The Aerans referred to the world as ''Prāticulun Utessēris'' ({{IPA-all|praːˈt̪ɪkʊl̴ũˑ ʊt̪ɛˈs̠ːeːrɪs̠|}}) ‘Odesser’s Cradle,’ or simply ''Prāticulun''.
