jasīrien

jasiirien

jasīrien

Since I just did the words for far and near, I thought I’d do directions. I’ve already done “east” jānnien (Nov 30, 2010) and I’ve done the attribute “north” (Oct 31, 2010), but not the direction itself. So: jasīrien means the north. It is derived from the stem –sīr– “dry”.
