______________ I think the word you're looking for here would mean "[degree of] illumination/reflected light)." That is the stem to which Ithkuil would then apply its array of degree-based affixes indicating the degree/extent of illumination, ranging from 'pitch-black' (= 'no illumination/reflected light whatsoever') all the way to 'blindingly bright' or 'super-brilliant' (= 'illuminted/reflecting to the maximum extent'). --John Q.
