Ilðeil
/ˈølðɛɪl/ From ilðí (to begin) and séilë (day) - "the beginning day." Known in the wider Chlasc region as Troseil (return day). Bethoséil /ˌbɛθɔˈʃeɪl/ A very curious name - from bethoc (animal) and séilë (day). This séilethol was taken from the Northern practice of holding livestock markets on Tuesdays. It is more widely referred to as the more prosaic Ðyséil (second day.) Ifoseil /'øfɔsɛɪl/ From ifanc (young) + séilë (day). The history of this day can be a little confusing, named as it was after a custom in the rural south where every adult is granted Wednesdays off to spend a free workday without their children (who stay in school), as opposed to the weekends where the family is together all both days. Ðywyreil /ˈðɪwɪɾɛɪl/ From ðywyr (water) and eil, an abbreviated form of séilë. Thursdays are named such due to the old tradition of collecting the week's water from wells and pumps on that day. Since this tradition is obsolete except from in the Extreme North, it is known under a range of names. A suggestion to change the name to Lauthenséil, to commemorate one of the country's most revered leaders (Franc Lauthenbír) was initially suggested by the influential Peloðír go Chlasc and rather widely used in the South. Pasareil /paˈsarɛɪl/ From pasàr (market) + eil (shortened version of séilë, day). This refers to the still common existence of extensive street markets setting up in towns across the country on Friday. Taroseil /ˈtaɾɔˌsɛɪl/ From taros (sea) and eil (day, from séilë). Named after the still common tradition of going out to sea on a Saturday. Whilst some still engage in the original purpose of the Saturday voyage (fishing in the day, playing at cards for small bets in the evening), others entertain family and guests or just go to get away from their town for a day. Teroðeil /ˈtɛɾɔˌðɛil/ From teroðos (rest, pause) and eil (from séilë, day). Also widely used is Cantheil (end day) and, to a lesser extent, the humoristic calque Séileil (Sun day.) |
