Wind, in my words

gyeth : wind

The Fennas word for wind is gyeth. Gyeth is a very rare last name.

How did I come up with this word? The Welsh words for wind are gwynt and awel (breeze), the Irish word for wind is gaoth, and the Breton word for wind is avel. In addition, the Cornish word for wind is gwyns, and the Manx word for wind is geay.

I considered making this word gweth, but in Cornish gweth means worse, and in Welsh similar gwaeth means worse.
