| Vindrae | |
|---|---|
| Stage | Modern CLT |
| Pronunciation | /ˈvindɾaɪ/ |
| Part of speech | Noun |
| Etymology | from Old Norse vindr (wind), entered CLT through Stoermhavn Middle: Vindrā → Modern: Vindrae (Great Vowel Break ā→ae) |
| Related words | Stoerm, Thael, Wavra, Velrae, Veinth |
Vindrae — wind, especially the fierce sea-wind of the coast. The moving air as a natural force. Stoermhavn sailors speak to the vindrae as though it were alive.
Notes
A Stoermhavn-origin word from Old Norse. Distinct from Veinth (the day-name derived from proto venti). Vindrae carries the raw Norse maritime character — this is the wind that tears sails and tests ships.
