miresua conlang: daughter is ätyla

10 May 2008

daughter is ätyla

ätyla = daughter (noun) (some things Google found for "atyla": an uncommon term; a user name; part of the name of several different breeds of show dogs; probaby a variation of the name Attila which is a common Hungarian name; a modern recurve "Mongol" bow weapon; Hotel Atyla in Córdoba, Argentina)

Word derivation for "daughter" :
Basque = alaba, Finnish = tytär
Miresua = ätyla

This word is intentionally somewhat similar to my Miresua conlang word for "girl" which is "tynsa".

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for daughter is now tabar.

About Miresua

Miresua is an imaginary language.

Miresua is a scramble of Basque and Finnish, two languages that I don't actually speak but I find interesting. Words are intended to look foreign to English speakers.

There is nobody in this world that speaks Miresua as their native language. Miresua is a made-up, constructed language used in my fantasy writing.

The Basque and Finnish words shown are correct to the best of my knowledge.

When I say that a word equals something in English that is my definition only; it's not true in the real world. The miscellaneous information I list about the words is what Google search found on the Internet for that word.

The grammar of Miresua will take rules from Basque and Finnish. Miresua will be agglutinative language (as are Basque and Finnish), a regular language with a high rate of affixes per word. Miresua will be a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) language, which is like Basque, but unlike Finnish (and English). Although unlike Basque, but like Finnish, adjectives occur before the noun which they modify. Miresua, unlike Finnish, doesn't feature vowel harmony. (For my experiment with vowel harmony, see my Samgur artlang).
