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.
