west is mensi (revisited)

mensi = west (noun) (some things Google found for "mensi": a very common term; an uncommon last name; nickname of vocalist of English punk rock band Angelic Upstarts; Mensi's Dairy Bar in Collierville, Tennessee; means sister in Lojban which is a logical constructed language; similar word menší means smaller, less in Czech and Slovak; name of a city in Indonesia)

Word derivation for "west" :
Basque = mendebalde, Finnish = länsi
Miresua = mensi

I've completely redone this word. My previous Miresua conlang word for west was belsenä.

Basque has a 10-letter word for west, which surprised me earlier. But I've come to learn that in Basque alde means area, region. The Basque suffix -alde indicates proximity, nearness. As this is a conlang and I make the rules, I decided to dismiss the "alde" portion of the word, for the noun west anyway. For the word western, I think I'll put it back into the mix.

north is pohar (revisited)

pohar = north (noun) (some things Google found for "pohar": a very common term; similar word pohár means cup (trophy) in Czech; an uncommon last name; user names; similar word pohár means glass (a drinking vessel) in Hungarian; name of a city in Pakistan)

Word derivation for "north" :
Basque = ipar, Finnish = pohjoinen
Miresua = pohar

My previous Miresua conlang word for north was pihor. In hindsight, I should've discounted the -inen from the Finnish word, as I've done for some words for colors, because it's a suffix for adjectives.

I like that my new word for north resembles the English word polar.

east is iketä (revisited)

iketä = east (noun) (some things Google found for "iketa": an uncommon to rare term; Iketa was a 2D fighting game for Commodore 64; a last name that can be Japanese; song title by Polygon Window also known as Aphex Twin; in Star Wars universe iketa stones are used for decoration on Geonosian military uniforms: an unusual feminine first name; Iketa is a Beauty Shop company in Lithuania; user names; a place in Japan)

Word derivation for "east" :
Basque = ekialde, Finnish = itä
Miresua = iketä

My previous Miresua conlang word for east was eldikä.  I've changed this word to start with the common letter "i", and to use the consonant from the Finnish word.  The Basque suffix "-alde" which means "area, nearness, around" seems to be an integral part of the Basque word for "east".

south is elego (revisited)

elego = south (noun) (some things Google found for "elego": an uncommon term; elego Software Solutions GmbH of Germany; a last name that can be Hispanic; Elego Ltd of Bulgaria sells construction materials; character names; user names)

Word derivation for "south" :
Basque = hego, Finnish = etelä
Miresua = elego

I'm modifying this word because the Basque word that I previously used for "south" wasn't entirely correct.  This time I'm using "hego" instead of "hegoalde". In Basque "hegoalde" can mean "south", but it also means "southern area".  The Basque suffix "-alde" means "area, nearness, around".   My previous Miresua conlang word for south was oltede.
