north is pohar (revisited)

poharpohar = north (noun) (some things Google found for "pohar": a very common term; similar word pohár means cup (trophy) in Czech; an uncommon last name; user names; similar word pohár means glass (a drinking vessel) in Hungarian; name of a city in Pakistan)

Word derivation for "north" :
Basque = ipar, Finnish = pohjoinen
Miresua = pohar

My previous Miresua conlang word for north was pihor. In hindsight, I should've discounted the -inen from the Finnish word, as I've done for some words for colors, because it's a suffix for adjectives.

I like that my new word for north resembles the English word polar.
