Nochwyn
Stage Modern CLT
Pronunciation /ˈnox.wɪn/
Part of speech Noun
Etymology from Middle Nochwīnē, from Proto noch-win
Related words Gaedhr, Eldershore

Nochwyn — the night-singing insect of warm evenings.

Notes

Heard from dusk through the small hours from Gaedhr to Abwynd, everywhere south of the Frostline and in the northern summer. Loud in numbers and inaudible as individuals.

The sound of a warm evening in every city that has them, and the thing a northerner remarks on first in Eldershore and cannot sleep through for a week.
