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'.  <br \/><br \/>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."}
