Bed, in my words

lagwe : bed

The Fennas word for bed is lagwe. Lagwe is a rare last name. Uganda music by MD Lagwe. Similar Lagwa is a place in Nigeria. Similar Lagwy is a place in Poland.

How did I come up with this word? The Welsh word for bed is gwely, the Irish word for bed is leaba, and the Breton word for bed is gwele.

I decided to start my Fennas word with L because it's the common consonant in the Welsh, Irish and Breton words.
