sigil is cwed (revisited)

cwed = sigil (Lhaesine pronunciation = KWED) (some things Google found for "cwed": an uncommon term: CWED stands for Central Wholesale Electrical Distributors Inc.; CWED stands for Center for Women the Earth and the Divine; CWED stands for Center for Workforce and Economic Development; CWED stands for Community Workshop on Economic Development in Chicago; CWED stands for Contrast Weighted Edge Density; CWED stands for Correlation-based Watermarking Error Diffusion; similar word "cwede" means "a saying" in Anglo-Saxon)

My previous word for "sigil" was "qwed". I've decided to not use the letter "Q" in Lhaesine after all.

My previous word for "tunic" was "minha". I liked the look of the old word, but "nh" isn't a consonant combination that I'm allowing in Lhaesine.

In addition, "seba" was the former word for "eye" in Miresua, my other conlang. Words from Miresua are frequently not usable in Lhaesine, and visa versa, due to the differing rules for constructing words each language.
