In the ancient form of the language there were no separate words for bodies of water be they river, stream; or lake, sea, etc. The words would either be (esuora) meaning 'standing water' or (esuoka) meaning 'flowing water'. The first comprehensive written forms of the language were abjadic meaning consonants are written and vowels are assumed; so (ehale) comes from a misunderstanding of (ehela) which translates to 'gathering'. This refers to Lake Baikal, which they called Pahela ehale, storm's gathering.The #<span class="tag"><a href="http://rainbowdash.net/tag/maycan" rel="tag">Maycan</a></span> word for 'lake' (ehale) has a strange evolution.

That leaves accent, intonation, parlance, even dialect, to be translated to one word.
