Basque = dantza, Finnish = tanssi(noun),tanssia(verb)
Miresua = tasna
My previous word for dance, the noun, was tasna. I swapped around the N and S. Although I liked the word tasna, it doesn't keep the letters A and N together, as in both the Basque and the Finnish source words.
Perhaps I should have made this word dansa instead, since Basque uses D and Finnish doesn't. But that seemed too obvious a word for dance. Dansa means to dance in Faroese, Icelandic, and Swedish. But, in my defense, T is actually a common letter between the Basque and the Finnish words.
This Miresua conlang word is the noun, dance, and will be used to create the verb, to dance.
