Word derivation for "these":
Basque = hauek, Finnish = nämä
Miresua = humäk
The ending of -k on this word makes it look sort of like a Basque plural, but unfortunately not like a Miresua plural.
The word these appears fourteen times in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, a majority of the times as a determiner. I may be able to use humäk as a determiner, too.
First came ten soldiers carrying clubs; these were all shaped like the three gardeners, oblong and flat, with their hands and feet at the corners: next the ten courtiers; these were ornamented all over with diamonds, and walked two and two, as the soldiers did.
