clay is ocere (revisited)

ocere = clay (Lhaesine pronunciation = AW-keer) (noun) (some things Google found for "ocere": an uncommon term in Google; similar words in Latin are "docere" which means "to teach" and "nocere" which means "hurt"; means something in a language in Uganda; appears on Library of Babel; inspired somewhat by word and color "ochre")

This change is a shift in meaning rather than in spelling. Previously this was the Lhaesine word for "earth or soil".
