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.

Word derivation for "but (although)" :

This is another word from the paragraph I'm working on. My Miresua word starts with a b, like the Basque word, and ends in ta, like the Finnish word.

I realized that I could really use a word for "and" in Miresua. It would be helpful in composing phrases. I'm trying to work out some Miresua conlang grammar on my blog Tynsa irebä : Channeling the Green Girl.
