colors from another distant land

Also on the index card that I mentioned in the previous post, there was list of Rhaiyathi colors. This is for the fantasy land east of Celsythir. I didn't remember making such as list, but it's definitely my handwriting.

white = yheir
black = halia
red = taser
yellow = rhael
green = khalit
blue = rliea
gray = mehar
purple = vuinde
orange = bairht

Most of these words for colors are a bit of a mouthful of letters. Since it was used in a story, red being called taser was no surpise to me.

colors from a distant land

When looking for key to a lockbox, I found an index card with a list of Celsy colors. As I remembered, my color words tended to rhyme. I don't think I would recommend doing that today.

white = fyarn
black = maln
red = tryan
yellow = cyan
green = rylon
blue = sarn
gray = alian
purple = goyn
orange = nyorn

Seems that I omitted a word for brown. Also, that's a mighty strange word for yellow, because cyan is a shade of blue.
