Nitherian word: komale “cinnabar”
From: Old Maritime komál, genitive of Komól, the name of the island where the first deposit was discovered.
The Maritimers introduced the Nitherians to a variety of mineral pigments, which they were all too eager to trade for given their tendency to decorate things in technicolour.
