Miresua is an imaginary, artificial, constructed language; a conlang. These words are not randomly generated. Miresua is an eclectic alphabetic mix of Basque and Finnish, two unrelated European languages, neither of which is related to English (or Spanish or French or German or any other Indo-European language...)
tasna = dance (noun) (some things Google found for "tasna": an uncommon term; Piz Tasna is a mountain in the Silvretta Range of the Swiss Alps; a last name, notably Italian actor Rolf Tasna; Tasna mine in Bolivia; Suot Tasna and Sur Tasna are sub-districts of the Canton of Graubünden in Switzerland; user names; means "ragweed or ragwort" in Portuguese; name of a city in Turkey and towns in Bolivia)Word derivation for "dance":
Basque = dantza, Finnish = tanssi
Miresua = tasna
My previous Miresua word for "dance" was "taisza". I decided to change it because it had a double vowel, unlike either the Basque or the Finnish words.

Are you sure the double consonant
(-sn-)can be pronounced well by everybody? Why not drop the -n- and stick to taso or doso instead.

Thank you for your comment.
I was thinking of pronouncing this word, tasna, as tas-na. Two syllables. Not as a "sn" double consonant.
Nonetheless, I understand your point. Perhaps I'll have check if either Basque or Finnish uses the "sn" consonant combination.
Basque esne = milk, but this does not weaken my point.
Personally, I would prefer something like tasa (if this is a verb) or taso (if this is a noun).
By the way, do you speak Hungarian? (Just because Mariska is a Hungarian nickname, although slightly obsolete.) - András
Tasna works well for Miresua. It shares four letters with the Basque word and four letters with the Finnish word. Tasna has a consonant combination as do the Basque and the Finnish words. It is only one letter shorter than the Basque and the Finnish words.
I speak a little Hungarian. Egy kicsit beszélek.
