Creation and Usage Notes

This word was coined by SMiki and friends for a homebrew Witcher project. It fits right in, so I was happy to add it (plus it's a lot of fun to have homonyms with different spellings that belong to different number paradigms).

The project in question is The Witcher Online: The Neverwitcher Nights Project, a fanmade total conversion mod for Neverwinter Nights; the word for Air was needed for the spell list.

PS: How come I haven't thought of veaith as the orthographic form? Such a beautiful trigraph!
