short is lybat

lybat = short (adjective) (some things Google found for "lybat": an uncommon to rare term; user names; LYBAT is an acronym for Lyceum of Batangas of the Philippines; a Chinese brand of fluorescent lighting; may be a last name)

Word derivation for "short" (brief) :
Basque = labur, Finnish = lyhyt
Miresua = lybat

I seem to be using the letter L more lately.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for "short" is now "lyhur".

long is päle

päle = long (adjective) (some things Google found for "päle" and "pale": a common term; päle means "over" in Veps or Vepsian; Pale is a last name; pale means "light in color" or "one of the stakes of a palisade" or "a territory having certain bounds" in English; pale means "down" in Croatian; pale means "cheek, visage" in Estonian; pale means "blade" in French; pale means "shovels" in Italian; Pale is the name of cities in India, Tanzania, Burma, Cuba, Guinea, Italy, Hungary, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Albania, Serbia & Montenegro, and United Kingdom)

Word derivation for "long" :
Basque = luze, Finnish = pitkä (long and tall)
Miresua = päle

My Miresua word päle is not pronounced as pale is in English. The ä (a umlaut) is pronounced as a in cat. The final e is not silent, it is pronounced like e in bed.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for "long" is now "päze".

thin is alhar

alhar = thin (adjective) (some things Google found for "alhar": an uncommon term; name of a city in Pakistan; user names; a village in the Tibet region of China; a company in Poland; a last name; maybe a first name)

fat is lida (revisited)

lida = fat (adjective) (some things Google found for "lida": a very common term; a feminine first name; a last name; Lida Daidaihua slimming capsules; The LIDA project experimental theater; North Lida and South Lida Lakes in Minnesota; Lida Lake Estates in Rochelle, Illinois; means "to suffer" in Swedish; means "work" in Portuguese; name of cities in Belarus, China, Philippines, Indonesia, United States, Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Sweden)

Word derivation for "fat" (adjective) :
Basque = lodi, Finnish = lihava
Miresua = lida

My previous word for fat was loiha. I'm changing this word because neither the Basque or the Finnish word had a vowel combination. Also I didn't like that loiha looked like the Finnish word for thin which is laiha.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for fat (adjective) is now lova.

fish is nalar (revisited)

nalar = fish (noun) (some things Google found for "nalar": an uncommon term; a last name; Mad God of the fictional fantasy world of Midkemia; user names; Nalar Industries Inc of California does electrical work; means "swimming, to swim" in Asturian which is a language of Northwest Spain; means "logical reasoning, mind" in Indonesian; means "regular" in Malay; similar word "nålar" means "pins" in Swedish; name of a town in Pakistan)

Word derivation for "fish" :
Basque = arrain, Finnish = kala

My previous Miresua word for "fish" was "naka". I changed this word to use a "r" from the Basque word. This word is also now the average length of the Basque and Finnish words.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for fish is now arkil.

autumn is küsyne (revisited)

küsyne = autumn (season) (noun and adjective) (some things Google found for "kusyne": a very rare term; may be a user name; perhaps a last name; similarly named Küsyen is the name of a city in Turkey which is also called Gosyan)

Word derivation for "autumn" :
Basque = udazken, Finnish = syksy
Miresua = küsyne

Previously my word for autumn was küseda. I'm revising this word becuase my Miresua word for summer is now seda, and I didn't want to make my word for autumn look like it's a compound word.

In Basque the word for autumn appears to be a compound word of summer and perhaps "less or minus".

The ü is derived from my combination of the u from the Basque word and one y from the Finnish word.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. I'm removing the ü (u umlaut). The word for autumn is now udaksy.

sapphire is sovari (revisited)

sovari = sapphire (noun) (gemstone) (some things Google found for "sovari": an uncommon term; a last name which can be Hungarian also spelled Sóvári; user names; Viridiana Sovari is a female character in The Night Angel trilogy; name of cities in Bosnia & Herzegovina and Croatia)

Word derivation for "sapphire" :
Basque = zafiro, Finnish = safiiri
Miresua = sovari

My previous Miresua word for "sapphire" was "sovira". This is a small change to make this word less like the Miresua word for "pretty" which is "sovil", and to end in "i" like my words for diamond and ruby.

Both the Basque word and the Finnish word contain a "f". It's likely that "sapphire" is a borrowed word in both languages. I modified the "f" to a "v" for Miresua.

spring is berdät

berdät = spring (noun and adjective) (season) (some things Google found for "berdat": an uncommon term; Berdat is a last name that can be French or Swiss in origin; "berdat" means "reality, truth" in Papiamentu which is a Caribbean Creole language of the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao))

Word derivation for "spring" :
Basque = udaberri, Finnish = kevät
Miresua = berdät

The word for "spring" in Basque seems to be a compound word of "summer" and "new". My Miresua word isn't a compound word, it's a merely a mix of letters. Although it somewhat resembles the Basque word for "green" which is "berde" (which is similar to the Spanish word for "green" which is "verde").

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for "spring" is now "verat".

summer is seda (revisited)

seda = summer (noun and adjective) (season) (some things Google found for "seda": a very common term; SEDA is an acronym for Staged Event-Driven Architecture which is an Internet server architecture; a last name; Seda France Candles; a feminine first name; means "sedates or soothes" in Italian; means "voice" in Kurdish; means "silk" in Portuguese and Spanish; means "sound, voice" in Turkish; name of cities in Indonesia, Ethiopia, Congo, Lithuania, and Mozambique)

Word derivation for "summer" :
Basque = uda, Finnish = kesä

Word derivation for "black" :
Basque = beltz, Finnish = musta
Miresua = metza

My previous Miresua word for black was melza. I'm changing this word slightly to use the letter T, which is found in both the Basque and Finnish words. It makes for a better alphabetic mix.

This Miresua conlang word was changed to metz, then later it was changed back to this word, metza.
