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.
