daughter is tabar (revisited)

tabartabar = daughter (noun) (some things Google found for "tabar": an uncommon term; a last name; a battle axe popular in Afghanistan, India, Pakistan and Iran; INS Tabar is a frigate of the Indian Navy; the Tabar Islands (aka Tabar Group) in Papua New Guinea; means "tribe" in Pashto, a Pastun tribal organization; in French an alternate spelling of "tabard" which is a cape or tunic worn by a knight; name of small cities in Afghanistan, Iran, and Spain; first part of the name of larger cities in Iran and a smaller city in Russia)

Word derivation for "daughter" :
Basque = alaba, Finnish = tytär
Miresua = tabar

My previous word for daughter was alytä. My new word is simpler. It also uses the B from the Basque word.

Confusing, sister? daughter? (BTW, this was 'tyla' last.)

You were right. That was confusing. I corrected this post.

The word tabar is now daughter. It was tyla earlier, but I do make changes. The Miresua word for sister is ahisa, and the word for girl is tynsa.
