The Finnish word for "month" is a combination of the words for "moon" and "season, term". The Basque word for "month" appears to be a combination of "moon" and "to fufill, to complete". My Miresua word for "month" includes my word for "moon" and a couple more letters, which may or may not be an later defined suffix.

Word derivation for "moon":

In Basque and Finnish the words for month are similar to their words for moon. This makes sense. The English words are similar too. Upon consideration, I decided to redo my word in the Miresua conlang for moon. My previous Miresua word for moon was kigul.

My new word for moon, kuila, is a more obvious combination of Finnish and Basque than usual. Letters from both languages are used in order. I generally like to scramble letters and their positions.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for moon is now kurgi.
