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 | 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 (?) | |||
