iron is baurda (revisited)

baurda = iron (metal) (some things Google found for "baurda": a rare term; an unusual last name which can be Romanian or French)

Word derivation for "iron" (metal):
Basque = burdina, Finnish = rauta,
Miresua = baurda

My previous Miresua word for iron was baura. For this new word, I inserted a D. This makes the Miresua word the average length of Basque and Finnish words. It also uses the D, which is a unusual letter in Miresua.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for iron is now raduna.

My previous Miresua word for brass was meitso. This new word ends in "i", as do the Basque and Finnish words.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for brass is now mestoi.

Word derivation for "seagull" :

My previous Miresua word for "seagull" was "koika". I decided to change this word, not just because Koika is a Russian X-rated model, so as to use the letter l. There are plenty of instances of the letter k in Basque and Finnish.

My previous Miresua word for lake was jirka. I think jirka looked too much like jerk. Also I'm simplifying this word.

Word derivation for "sparrow" :

Word derivation for "chicken" :

For my Miresua word for chicken I merely scrambled the letters from the Basque and the Finnish words. This simplified things for me. Both the Basque and the Finnish words seem to be begin with their word for hen, but I'm not entirely sure what to make of their endings.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. I found that kana was a better Finnish word for chicken, the bird. The word for chicken is now oikano.
