Oh, no worries! I was pretty sure, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions, so I thought I'd ask.

Barmish is not a Germanic lang, not even Indo-European, but it has a fair amount of loanwords derived from either Old Norse or Proto-Germanic.

Guess the word: lothro [ˈlɔθɽɔ]

Hint:
Spoiler:
Take note that Barmish has gender-dependent vowel harmony.
