I know quay is a real word - it's not normally pronounced like "kway" but like "key". But only because enough people agree on that - that's what I mean by made up. The rules are just a majority agreement for both meaning and pronunciation.

My french speaking partner recently informed me the quay (pronounced key) meant something like ‘dock’ when we were discussing the Florida Keys, and suddenly everything fell into place!
