"Alon" was previously the verb "to be to exist" in Miresua, which I changed to "olna". Now it's a conjugation of the verb "algo" which means "to be to stay". I rightly figured that I'd be able to reuse the word "alon" sometime.

Word derivation for "to be"/"to stay"):
Basque = egon, Finnish = olla
Miresua = algo

There are two verbs "to be" in Miresua - "olna" and "algo". This follows the example of Basque, but is unlike Finnish (and English). "Olna" (like Basque verb "izan") implies an established fact or permanence. (You can see my conjugations of "olna" in the present tense in last month's blog postings.) "Algo" (like Basque verb "egon") is used for more temporary states of being, such as "I am in the house". These verbs will be used like the Spanish verbs "ser" and "estar".

All my conjugations of the verb "algo" in the present tense will start with the letter "a". This is the only letter that appears in the all the combinations of letters of the Basque and Finnish words. Other tenses of the Miresua verb "algo" will not be starting with "a".

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for verb "to be/to stay" is now elga.

Miresua project of the month :: to be (part 2)

Miresua has two verbs "to be", like Basque, one which means "to exist" and the other means "to stay". Usage will be as with the Spanish verbs "ser" and "estar". Finnish (like English) has one verb "to be".

This month I'll be mixing conjugations of the Basque verb "egon" (to stay) with conjugations of the Finnish verb "olla".
