húr

Riyan

Etymology

From Old Riyan þōr (“night”), from Proto-Riyanic *ṯṓdu, from Proto-Hirdic *ṯṓchus, from Proto-Laenkean *towcʰos (“night”). It still meant "night" up until the Middle Riyan period when it was displaced by Middle Radestrian háșș (“night”). After this, it underwent semantic narrowing to its current religious meaning.
