aía

Radestrian

Etymology

From Middle Radestrian aía, from Old Radestrian aijra, inherited from Proto-Radic *aiɣor, from *aēr (“fourth”) + *-ɣor (augmentative).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /aˈiːa/
• Rhyme: -iːa ⁽¹⁷⁾
• Syllabification: a–í–a

Noun

aía inan (countable, genitive singular aijusk, nominative plural aijore, relational adjective aijuș)

1. (in-world) The fourth day of the thirteenth Laefevo-Radestrian month, dzestasans, equivalent to the Gregorian day of March 18, or March 17 on leap years.

Usage notes

• Thirteenth-month-specific words for days of the week must still be used with the month, i.e. aía dzestaseng; aía on its own cannot be used to mean March 18/17.
