Lusetian

Etymology

From Old Lusetian hlosur, from Proto-Radic *hloθur. Cognate with Ardian lot and Radestrian hvuþs. The expected reflex is **lozu, so it is thought that the modern language instead inherited the plural lozi (from Old Lusetian hlosir) and backformed the singular, though this does not explain the mobile stress.
