Erin

Erin Words

In my various languages I usually find a way to coin a word whose form closely matches the English name Erin. This is because my wife is named Erin. Consequently, the various Erin words that exist in my languages all have nice or pleasant associations, or otherwise have some kind of meaning that reminds me of Erin.

Of course, not all Erin words get to have the exact form "erin", so to collect them all in one place, I've added them here:

• Shiväisith: erin
• Veda: erin
• Yulish: erin
