Word derivation for "cabbage":
Basque = aza, Finnish = kaali
Miresua = azki

I considered making this word akza, but that word would've contained all the letters from the Basque word, which is something I'd rather not do. Also I'm trying, not that successfully, to lessen the number of nouns ending in a.

potato is patuna

patuna = potato (noun) (some things Google found for "patuna": an uncommon term; Patuna Bushyhead is a female couture designer originally from the Republic of Georgia; Patuna Farm Adventures and Patuna Chasm near Martinborough in New Zealand; a rare last name; a rare feminine first name; Vadiga Patuna is a traditional Southern Sri Lanka dance; in Finnish an essive form of the noun patu which means "(colloquial) old hand"; Yapa Patuna is a former name of Jaffna, Sri Lanka)

Miresua = juremitxa

Here's another lengthy vegetable word. As in Finnish, the j is pronounced like consonantal y. As in Basque, the tx is pronounced like ch.

I'm a gardener and I grow vegetables, including beets.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for beet is now jurmotxas.

Word derivation for "turnip":
Basque = arbi, Finnish = nauris
Miresua = naurbi

Yes, I know that making a word for turnip isn't exactly advancing Miresua grammar. Sorry, but I've been busy lately. Doing vegetables is allowing me to maintain my blog update schedule.

carrot is azporena

azporena = carrot (noun) (some things Google found for "azporena": an unique term, did not match any documents; similar Azorerna is the Swedish name for the Azores which is a Portuguese autonomous archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean)

Word derivation for "carrot":

Miresua = azporena

This is second in my series of long words for orange vegetables. Both Basque and Finnish have 8-letter words for carrot, so Miresua does too.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for carrot is now azporano.

pumpkin is kurpaza

kurpaza = pumpkin (noun) (some things Google found for "kurpaza": a rare term; a user name; "kurpa za" can mean "cloth or towel for" in Bulgarian (transliterated); similarly named Kapaza is a Belgian classified ads site)

Word derivation for "free" (gratis, without charge):
Basque = dohako, Finnish = ilmainen
Miresua = dolain

I made this word start with D, which is unusual in Miresua. In Finnish only borrowed words start in D. It turned out to be unintentionally similar to the Basque word dohain (which is related to dohako), the noun for a spiritual, intangible gift.

far is kaurun

kaurun = far (far away) (adverb) (some things Google found for "kaurun": a rare term; user names; Asuweda Kaurun ho is a Sinhala song title (which I was unable to translate to English); a rare last name; name of a village in Himachal Pradesh, India)

Word derivation for "far":
Basque = urrun, Finnish = kaukana

The adjective far will be a similar word, but with an additional suffix.

near is hurelä

Word derivation for "near":
Basque = hurbil, Finnish = lähellä
Miresua = hurelä

The Finnish word lähellä is adessive case, which a locative case with the basic meaning of "on". I don't think Basque has adessive case.

Other words for near in Basque are gertu and ondoan.

so (very) is hin

hin = so (adverb) (very, to a particular extent) (some things Google found for "hin": a very common term; HIN is an acronym for Hot Import Nights auto show; HIN is an acronym for Hull ID Numbers for boats; an uncommon last name; an uncommon first name that can be from Southeast Asia; an ancient Hebrew unit of liquid measurement; means there (away from this place) in German; means the (fem. sg.) in Icelandic; Hua Hin is a beach resort town in Thailand)

Word derivation for "so (very, to a particular extent)":
Basque = hain, Finnish = niin
Miresua = hin

I considered making this word nain, but in Finnish, depending on its usage, nain can be vulgar.

so (therefore) is bejon

bejon = so (conjunction, adverb) (therefore, with the result that) (some things Google found for "bejon": an uncommon term; a rare first name; a rare last name; user names; Lady Bejon or Bejon St. James is a LGBT performer; name of a singing duo of identical brothers who auditioned for UK's X Factor; similarly named Bejong is a place in Indonesia)

Word derivation for "so (therefore, with the result that)":
Basque = beraz, Finnish = joten
Miresua = bejon

There are a number of Finnish words with somewhat similar meanings: niinpä, siis, siksi, jotta. With this word, I think I was trying to push Finnish into fitting my English meaning, and getting myself into a bit of a gray area.

their is haiden

haiden = their (possessive pronoun) (some things Google found for "haiden": a common term; an unusual to uncommon last name; an unusual to uncommon masculine first name (perhaps a form of unisex name Hayden); Haiden Surf boys swimwear; the hall of worship of a Shinto shrine; a Gewürztraminer variety of white wine grape; in Finnish means genitive plural of shark; name of places in Germany and Austria)

Word derivation for "their":
Basque = haien, beraien
Finnish = heidan + -nsa or -nsä
Miresua = haiden

This ends pronouns for now. I still have it and its to do, but I want to think on those for a while.

they is hai (revisited)

hai = they (pronoun – 3rd person plural) (some things Google found for "hai": a very common term; HAI is an acronym for Healthcare-Associated infections; HAI stands for Home Automation, Inc.; HAI is an acronym for Helicopter Association International; HAI is an acronym for Human Awareness Institute; HAI hair styling tools; an uncommon first name; an unusual last name; means sea in Chinese (transliterated); means shark in Finnish and Estonian; means yes, okay in Japanese; means two in Vietnamese; name of a district in Tanzania)

Word derivation for "they" :
Basque = haiek, Finnish = he
Miresua = hai

My previous Miresua word for they was heik. This is another revision.

your (plural) is teuden

teuden = your (plural) (possessive pronoun) (some things Google found for "teuden": an unusual to rare term; user names; a rare last name; name of a World of Warcraft character; similar Teufen is the name of a places in Switzerland and Germany)

Word derivation for "your" (plural) :
Basque = zuen, Finnish = teidan + -nne
Miresua = teuden

I need to deal with the letters I have in the Basque and the Finnish words. My possessive pronouns in Miresua are inescapably somewhat irregular.

you (plural) is teu (revisited)

teu = you (plural) (pronoun - 2nd person plural) (some things Google found for "teu": a very common term; an unusual last name; a rare first name; TEU is the NYSE stock symbol for Box Ships Inc; TEU is an acronym for twenty-foot equivalent unit which a measure used for capacity in container transportation; TEU is an acronym for Tertiary Education Union of New Zealand; TEU is an acronym for Treaty on European Union; in Catalan, Galician and Portuguese teu means "your, yours" (singular))

Word derivation for "you" (plural) :
Basque = zuek, Finnish = te
Miresua = teu

My previous Miresua conlang word for you (plural) was tek. Lately seems I've been doing a step backward for each step forward.

our is geiren

geiren = our (possessive pronoun) (some things Google found for "geiren": an uncommon to rare term; a rare last name; a very rare first name; user names; name of a World of Warcraft character; name of a place in Norway)

Word derivation for "our" :
Basque = gure, Finnish = meidän + -mme
Miresua = geiren

In Finnish, -mme is a possessive suffix appended to the main word owned, which is used used with or without the genitive meidän.

I considered making this word gemen, to use an M from Finnish, but that would have made my possessive pronouns even more irregular. M will appear in the ending for most 1st person plural verb conjugations.

we is ge (revisited)

ge = we (pronoun - 1st person plural) (some things Google found for "ge": a very common term; GE stands for General Electric; a uncommon last name that can be Chinese; .ge is the Internet country code for Georgia; symbol for chemical element Germanium; means greater than or equal to in some programming languages; Gê are an indigenous people in Brazil; in Latin and Spanish name of the letter G; in Old English gé is the 2nd person plural you; ge means give in Swedish; name of places in Liberia and Ghana)

Word derivation for "we" :
Basque = gu, Finnish = me
Miresua = ge

This is another revision. My previous Miresua conlang word for we was mu.

hären = his/her (possisive pronoun) (some things Google found for "hären": an uncommon term; HÄREN bath towels and washcloths by IKEA; similar Haren is an uncommon last name, notably Major League Baseball pitcher Dan Haren; similar Haren is an unusual masculine first name; in Danish and Swedish similar haren means hare (lepus); similar Haren is the name of places in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Somalia)

Word derivation for "his/her" :
Basque = haren (or beraren), bere
Finnish = hänen (genitive) + -nsa or -nsä (possessive suffix)
Miresua = hären

My Miresua word is unusually close to the Basque word, haren, and also to the Finnish word, hänen.

In standard Finnish, both the possessive suffix and the genitive of the personal pronoun are apparently compulsory. In colloquial Finnish, usually only hänen (the genitive) is used. The possessive suffixes differ depending on front or back vowel harmony.

Miresua doesn't feature vowel harmony. (Although my experimental Hungarian/Finnish artlang, Samgur, does.)

In Basque, bere is reflexive, meaning his own, her own, plus its own.

he/she is här (revisitied)

här = he/she (pronoun – 3rd person singular) (some things Google found for "här": a very common term; här means here in Swedish; similar Har is an uncommon last name; similar Har is a unusual first name that can be masculine; in English similar har means a sound of laughter with a sarcastic connotation; in Basque similar har means worm or nagging conscience; in Faroese similar har means there and similar hár means hair; in Icelandic similar hár means high; in Swedish, Norwegian and Danish similar har is forms of the verb to have; in Romanian similar har means grace, talent; similar Har is the name of places in Indonesia and Somalia)

Word derivation for "he/she" :
Basque = hura (or bera), Finnish = hän
Miresua = här

My previous Miresua word for he/she was hunä, which was a word I posted only about two months ago. What can I say? I'm changing things.

Both Basque and Finnish use one pronoun for he and she. Miresua follows their example.

Note that in Basque third-person personal pronouns are a bit complicated.

your (singular) is zunen (revisited)

zunen = your (singular) (possessive pronoun) (some things Google found for "zunen": an unusual to rare term; a rare last name; a rare first name; user names; ZUNEN is a navigational waypoint in Texas; similarly named Zune music + video software; seems to be a form of sun or sunshine in Yiddish (transliterated))

Word derivation for "your (singular)" :
Basque = zure, Finnish = sinun + -si
Miresua = zunen

In Finnish, sinum is the genitive form of the personal pronoun and -si is a possessive suffix appended to the word owned.

My previous Miresua word for your (singular) was ziru. I posted that word only ten days ago. Guess I wasn't looking at the big picture. This time around there's more logic, less irregularity. And my words are still valid alphabetic mixes of the Basque and the Finnish words.

you (singular) is zun (revisited)

zun = you (pronoun - 2nd person singular) (some things Google found for "zun": a very common term; ZUN is the only member of Team Shanghai Alice a Japanese game development organization; an ancient type of Chinese ritual bronze or ceramic wine vessel sometimes in the shape of an animal; an unusual first name; an unusual last name; ZŪN Energy Drink; Reggaeton song "Zun Da Da" by Zion; Zun-Mod (or Dzuunmod) is a place in Mongolia; name of a place in Iran)

Word derivation for "you" :

Word derivation for "my" :
Basque = nire, Finnish = minun + -ni
Miresua = miren

I'm redoing this word, which I just did only ten days ago, to make my possessive pronouns more regular. Proof again that I change my mind on words. My previous Miresua word for my was nime.

The genitive case ending for Miresua will be -n or -en. That I'm in addition using the r from the Basque word shows that possessive pronouns will be somewhat irregular.

I is mi (revisited)

mi = I (pronoun – 1st person singular) (some things Google found for "mi": a very common term; MI is the US postal abbreviation for Michigan; in Spanish mi means my; MI is an abbreviation for Middle Initial; M.I is a Nigerian rapper and musician; an uncommon last name; an unusual feminine first name; MI is one thousand and one in Roman numerals; in music syllable used to represent the third note of a major scale; means mouse in Albanian; means I in Esperanto; means "what, we" in Hungarian; means noodle in Indonesian; means my in Interlingua; means "we, me" in Serbo-Croatian; means "I, me" in Welsh)

Word derivation for "I" :
Basque = ni, Finnish = minä
Miresua = mi

I've been rethinking things. Looking at possessive determiner pronouns, I realized that I needed to revisit subject pronouns again. That or have very irregular Miresua grammar.

My previous Miresua word for I was nin. I considered making this word min, but that unfortunately means pain in Basque.

your (singular) is ziru

ziru = your (singular) (possessive pronoun) (some things Google found for "ziru": an uncommon term; an unusual first name that can be Chinese; a rare last name; Philein/ZiRu Productions is a non-profit dance production company based in San Francisco; Ziru is a contemporary design furniture company in Spain; in Traveler RPG the Ziru Sirka is the interstellar First Imperium; user names; name of a place in Uganda)

Word derivation for "your (singular)" :
Basque = zure, Finnish = sinun + -si
Miresua = ziru

According to Wiktionary, in standard Finnish the possessive suffix -si (appended to the word owned) is compulsory, but the genitive form of the personal pronoun "sinun" before the main word can be sometimes omitted. On the other hand, in colloquial Finnish, the suffix -si is very rare and only the genitive form "sinun" is used.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for your (singular) is now zuren.

my is nime

nime = my (possessive pronoun) (some things Google found for "nime": a very common term; NIME is an acronym for New Interfaces for Musical Expression; NIME or New Shores is a Business School in India; NIME is an acronym for Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment; NIME is an acronym for National Conference on Mathematics Education of India; rare last name; a rare first name; in the Star Wars universe name of a port city on the planet Roon; nime chow (naem chhaw) are Cambodian fresh (not deep-fried) spring rolls; in Estonian forms of the noun name; name of places in Papua New Guinea; similar Nîmes is a city in southern France)

Word derivation for "my" :
Basque = nire, Finnish = minun + -ni
Miresua = nime

Finnish doesn't do possessive pronouns like English. The Finnish pronoun minun is generally used with the possessive suffix -ni appended to the word owned. Often the suffix -ni is used without using minun at all. Minun is the genitive singular of the personal pronoun minä.

Basque has a word for my, instead of a suffix, so I'm going to do the same in Miresua. Seems less complicated. By the way, my Miresua word for I is nin.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for my is now miren.

team is toulke

toulke = team (noun) (some things Google found for "toulke": a rare term; a rare last name; user names; somewhat similar to Toulkerrie which is the name of a place in Queensland, Australia)

Word derivation for "team" :
Basque = talde, Finnish = joukkue
Miresua = toulke

I've decided to use the OU vowel combination. That puts a little more from Finnish into the Miresua conlang.

honor is kunore

kunore = honor (noun) (some things Google found for "kunore": an uncommon term; a rare last name; user names; name of places in Albania and northern India)

Word derivation for "honor" :
Basque = ohore, Finnish = kunnia
Miresua = kunore

This Miresua word has some similarity to the English word honor (UK honour).

country is marre

marre = country (noun) some things Google found for "marre": a very common term; an uncommon last name; a rare first name; J'en ai marre! (I'm fed up!) is a French pop song by recording artist Alizée; Marre is a female Colombian pop singer/songwriter; The Villa Marre is a historic home built in 1881 in Little Rock, Arkansas; Y'en A Marre (Enough is Enough) are rappers who founded a political movement in Senegal; in French marre means a type of hoe (gardening tool); in colloquial French marre means enough; the name of places in France and Somalia)

Word derivation for "country" :
Basque = herrialde, Finnish = maa
Miresua = marre

The Basque and Finnish words have slightly different senses of meaning. In Basque, the suffix -alde means region, area. While the Basque word herri means "nation, people; country, land; public, folk; town." The Finnish word maa means "earth, ground, country, land, soil."

By the way, in Miresua, "the country" will be marrea.

torch is suizu

suizu = torch (noun) (some things Google found for "suizu"; an uncommon term; an unusual last name, notably 2007 Japan Junior Champion female figure skater Rumi Suizu; name of places in Japan)

Word derivation for "torch (stick with fire at one end)" :

This Miresua word looks similar to the English word medal.

Word derivation for "flag" :
Basque = bandera, Finnish = lippu
Miresua = lipera

The Basque word for flag is the same as flag in Spanish.

prize is salito

salito = prize (noun) (some things Google found for "salito"; a very common term; an unusual last name; Salito's Crab House in Sausalito, California; Salito Gourmet Specialty Pizza in Ottawa, Canada; conjugations of the Italian verb meaning "to go up, climb, rise"; similarly named Salitos Tequila beer)

Word derivation for "prize" :
Basque = sari, Finnish = palkinto
Miresua = salito

This word takes more letters from the Finnish word, but that's OK because the Finnish word is twice as long, and all but one of the letters from the Basque word are used.

game is jope

jope = game (noun) (some things Google found for "jope"; a very common term; an unusual last name, notably German World War II Luftwaffe bomber pilot Bernhard Jope; a rare masculine first name or nickname, notably Finnish actor, musician and comedian Jope Ruonansuu; The Jope Cup is awarded for men's college rowing; JOPE is an acronym for Journal of Political Economy; user names; name of a place in Latvia)

Word derivation for "game" :
Basque = joko, Finnish = peli
Miresua = jope

I considered making this word jopi, but jopi means job in (colloquial) Finnish.

Back to making new words. My update frequency will go back to normal, instead of double speed.

he/she is hunä (revisited)

hunä = he/she (pronoun – 3rd person singular) (some things Google found for "huna"; a very common term; a pseudo-Hawaiian New Age philosophy; an unusual last name; a rare first name; the Huna people were Xionite tribes that invaded northern India during the 5th century; in Spanish feminine form of huno meaning of or relating to the Huns; Huna and Hunä are World of Warcraft character names; name of places in Burma and Scotland)

Word derivation for "he/she" :
Basque = hura, Finnish = hän
Miresua = hunä

My previous Miresua word for he/she was hun. That kept making me think of Attila the Hun, so I decided I better modify it.

Both Basque and Finnish use one pronoun for he and she. Miresua follows their example.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for he/she is now här.

lake is jairä (revisited)

jairä = lake (noun) (some things Google found for "jaira": an uncommon term; a unusual feminine first name; a glowing eyed jaguar in online game MapleStory; Jaira's Waxing Salon in New Jersey; a rare last name; La Jaira is a place in the Rhone-Alpes region of France; name of places in India and Tanzania)

Word derivation for "lake" :
Basque = aintzira, Finnish = järvi
Miresua = jairä

Apparently, the Basque word I used previously for lake, laku, wasn't the best word for lake. Although laku is a valid Basque word for lake. My previous Miresua word for lake was jaru. I made my new word similar.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for lake is now ainäri.

apple is sagena (revisited)

sagena = apple (noun) (some things Google found for "sagena": an uncommon term; Sagena is a Croatian information technology solutions company; an unusual last name; a rare first name; Fish and Steak House "Sagena" in Tribunj, Croatia; means seine (large fishing net) in Latin; hmangelia sagena is a species of sea snail; name of a place in Afghanistan)

Word derivation for "apple" :
Basque = sagar, Finnish = omena
Miresua = sagena

My previous Miresua conlang word for apple was samena, a word I did only a couple months ago. After some thought, I decided to change this word slightly, and use the G from the Basque word instead of the M from the Finnish word.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for apple is now sagen.

star is tizä (revisited)

tizä = star (noun) (some things Google found for "tiza": a very common term; an unusual last name; an unusual feminine first name; TIZA.com sells Prom Dresses; TiZA is an acronym for Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy, a controversial Islamic-themed charter school in Minnesota; tiza and tizä are user names; name of a font; means chalk in Spanish; La Tiza is a town in Panama; name of places in the Philippines, Ghana and Algeria)

Word derivation for "star" :
Basque = izar, Finnish = tähti
Miresua = tizä

My previous Miresua conlang word for star was itzä, which was an OK word, but too similar to my word for very, itso. Earlier, I changed my word for wolf from isto to suto for exactly the same reason. My new word is somewhat similar to my word for sky or heaven, taizu, but I think it's different enough in pronunciation.

horse is zaven (revisited)

zaven = horse (animal) (noun) (some things Google found for "zaven": a common term; a unusual masculine first name that can be Armenian; Zaven The Alchemist is an NPC character in Diablo 3; a rare last name; Zaven's Wishes is a Louisiana non-profit sponsoring swimming lessons for children; similarly named Zavena is a place in northern Italy)

Word derivation for "horse" :
Basque = zaldi, Finnish = hevonen
Miresua = zaven

My previous Miresua word for horse was halden, which wasn't truly a bad word. My new word is a redo that starts with a Z, like the Basque word, and uses the V from the Finnish word. It's a Miresua word that wouldn't be allowed in either Basque or Finnish.

cow is behmä (revisited)

behmä = cow (animal) (noun) (some things Google found for "behma": an uncommon term; an unusual last name; BEHMA GmbH of Germany; similar Finnish word pehmeä means soft; name of villages in India and Egypt)

Word derivation for "cow" :
Basque = behi, Finnish = lehmä
Miresua = behmä

My previous Miresua word for cow was hebä. I think that my new word looks more like the Basque and Finnish source words. I considered making this word bemä, but that would have omitted the common letter h.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for cow is now lehi.

squirrel is orantxa (revisited)

orantxa = squirrel (animal) (noun) (some things Google found for "orantxa": a very rare term; bad OCR of words in scanned books; similar Arantxa is a Basque feminine first name, notably Spanish former professional tennis player Arantxa Sánchez Vicario)

Word derivation for "squirrel" (animal):
Basque = urtxintxa, Finnish = orava
Miresua = orantxa

My previous Miresua word for squirrel was onartxa. This is a small change, swapped the n and r, to make the word start like the Finnish word, and end like the Basque word. By the way, tx in Miresua, as in Basque, is pronounced like ch.

lehoni = lion (animal) (noun) (some things Google found for "lehoni": an uncommon to rare term; a rare last name; user names; lehoni means "confinement, labor, lying-in" in Albanian; similar Leoni is an uncommon last name and an unusual first name; similar Lehon is the name of a place in the Bretagne region of France)

Word derivation for "lion" :
Basque = lehoi, Finnish = leijona
Miresua = lehoni

My previous Miresua word for lion was loijen. I think that my new word is a better mix because it looks more like the Basque and the Finnish words. It also ends in a vowel, as it should according to my rules.

This Miresua word has been changed. The word for lion is now leijo.

Word derivation for "bear" :

My previous Miresua word for bear was zuhar. This was another older word. Both the Basque and the Finnish words for bear are 5 letters long. My conlang rules allow me words make my Miresua word 1 letter shorter. In Miresua, "the bear" will be harua.

Word derivation for "copper" :

My previous Miresua word for copper was kepra. For that word, I really mixed up the vowels. My new word starts like the Basque word, and ends like the Finnish word.

raduna = iron (metal) (some things Google found for "raduna": an uncommon term; a rare last name; user names; conjugations of the Italian verb radunare meaning to gather or to assemble; means something in Sinhalese; name of places in Croatia and Nigeria)

Word derivation for "iron" (metal):

Miresua = raduna

My previous Miresua conlang word for iron was daurna. That word, somehow, didn't work for me, didn't look right, so I made a new mix of letters. Words starting in R are unusual, too.

millet is hirtxi

hirtxi = millet (noun) (some things Google found for "hirtxi": a very rare term; a user name; bad OCR of old texts; similarly pronounced Hirchi is a uncommon last name)

Word derivation for "millet" :

Back to grain, this is another word from my small reserve of words.
