Since I've been using "Bjeheond" for so long I'll continue to use it in English. In Tricin "Bjeheond" occurs in the [[Anbirese]] name for the continent, ''sa Bjeheond'' /sa bʲehʌnd/, however it's actually the soft-mutated form, which occurs after the class article ''sa''. | ||

''Bjeheond'' comes from [[Nurian]] ''Bíxxanti'' /ˈbʲɪxənʔtʲ/ 'fox-DU', referring to the Twin Foxes in Nurian mythology. "Bjeheond" is preferred to other names for the continent in the majority of Trician languages. | |||
Other names include Netagin ''Tacrůt'' (from ''cerat'' 'fox', thus a partial calque from the Nurian) and a poetic name ''Șinach'' (from ''*hīna-kkam'' 'our land' in an older stage of [[Gwnax]]; Modern Gwnax ''Zynax''. ''Gwnax'' itself is from ''*wana-kkam'' 'our way (of speaking)'). | |||

The Dáiḃeŋal civilization left statues and megalithic temples (as well as some written records) near the Gwnax-speaking area in Northwestern Bjeheond. Subsequently Bjeheond was settled by Proto-[[Nurian]]- and [[Netagin]]-speaking tribes, which caused some Lakovic speakers to flee north to Talma and south to Txapoalli. The Dáiḃeŋal civilization's writing system and their language [[Gwnax]] still survive to the present day. | |||

Bjeheond | The low-lying regions of Bjeheond have a Mediterranean climate (but a bit more tropical), with hot, dry summers and wet winters. The eastern islands, Tumhan, Pategia, Roshteria, and Ir Păchnay Sămtsay are wetter and are rich in subtropical forests. | ||

The longest river in Bjeheond is the Piune River (''Pīenu'' in Nurian, ''Pün'' in Wdm). It's the reason most of Bjeheond is not arid like Australia. | |||
Bjeheond has one major mountain range along the southernmost edge, the source of the Piune. It's thought that Bjeheond fused, then separated again from Txapoalli long ago (?) | |||
