[nukkad] Wester

[dkaikobad <>]

Did you know there is a word, 'Wester', which is entirely respectable 
and with legitimate antecedents?

Was working at a script and mistyped it and expected it to be an error, 
and it was not. A quick search says it means a strong westerly wind, or 
a celestial movement to the west.

By contrast, the word to complement wester should be easter, unless it 
be the one with eggs and a random rabbit.

Can there be a norther? Or a souther?

One is accepting of breather, slither, mother, brother, other. But 
norther? Odd.

Next we may have a northerly brother who chanced to slither hither from 
tither, to meet a brother, other than the legitimate one, who had in 
turn slithered hither from tither, this tither being distinct from the 
formerly one, in that it came second to the first..

There is a vernacular compliment to hither which is, idhar, [here], 
which is not udhar [there]. Or did the Normans, who decimated the 
Saxons, with a singular arrow, lift the idhar also?

One may be minded to create a complex sentence with disparate words, but 
this seems somewhat otherly than what is motherly.

Not to say verse, which would be the worse for the wear.

Which is neither idhar nor udhar, nor here or there.

Arya.
