fael

noun/adjective. gleam of the sun; *gleaming

An element in the name Faelivrin described as the “gleam of the sun on the pools of Ivrin” (S/210), hence probably meaning something like “gleam of the sun” or “✱gleaming”. It may be derived from the root ᴹ√PHAY in its 1930s sense “radiate, send out rays of light” (Ety/PHAY), though in later writings √PHAY meant “spirit” (PM/352).
