family is vamere

vamere = family (noun) (some things Google found for "vamere": an unusual term; a rare last name; a very rare first name; somewhat similar Vermeer is a last name, notably of 17th century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer; similar camere means rooms, chambers in Italian)

Word derivation for "family" :
Basque = familia, Finnish = perhe
Miresua = vamere

This is a new word. If you're wondering where I got the V to build this word, I allow myself to change any rare F that occurs in Basque to V. Miresua doesn't use the letter F.

Note that the Finnish word appears to mean immediate family, as opposed to extended family.

By the way, I've temporarily paused creating numbers due to some word-building issues.

I found one occurrence of the word family in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alice scared a mouse by talking about her cat.

"We won't talk about her any more if you'd rather not."

"We indeed!" cried the Mouse, who was trembling down to the end of his tail. "As if I would talk on such a subject! Our family always HATED cats: nasty, low, vulgar things! Don't let me hear the name again!"

sister is aizar (revisited)

aizar = sister (noun) (some things Google found for "aizar": an uncommon term: Aizar Schools in Pakistan; an unusual masculine first name; a rare last name; name of several gaming characters; Aizar S.L. is an air conditioning and heating company in Spain; similarly named Aizarna is a place in the Basque region of Spain)

Word derivation for "sister" :
Basque = ahizpa, Finnish = sisar
Miresua = aizar

My previous Miresua word for sister was ahisa.

The word sister appears in the first paragraph of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

daughter is tabar (revisited)

Word derivation for "daughter" :

My previous word for daughter was alytä. My new word is simpler. It also uses the B from the Basque word.

aunt is izäti (revisited)

izäti = aunt (noun) (some things Google found for "izati": an uncommon term; Izati (or Izzati) is a unusual feminine first name that can be Malaysian; Izati is a rare last name; user names)

My previous Miresua conlang word for "aunt" was "ibetä". I decided to use the Z from the Basque word.

grandmother is imaosa (revisited)

imaosa = grandmother (noun) (some things Google found for "imaosa": a rare term; user names; a Star Wars related character first name; somewhat similarly named Emarosa is a six-member post-hardcore band from Kentucky)

Word derivation for "grandmother" :

This change is because I changed the word for big. My previous word for grandmother was imaoni. This word is a compound of mother (ima) + big (osa).

grandfather is isaosa (revisited)

isaosa = grandfather (noun) (some things Google found for "isaosa": a rare term: Isaosa S.A. de C.V. is a fertilizer company in Mexico; user names)

Word derivation for "grandfather" :

This change is because I changed the word for big (see previous post). My previous word for grandfather was isaoni. This word is nearly a compound of father (isai) + big (osa).

uncle is oseta

oseta = uncle (noun) (some things Google found for "oseta": an uncommon term; Oseta is a DNN (DotNetNuke) web site builder module; Oseta Jolly Primary School in Turks & Caicos; Oseta Safety and Security Products of Ghana; a last name)

Word derivation for "father" :

This is another new word. And I'm dropping back to my usual, every four days, schedule of posts to this blog.

Note the interesting similarity between the Basque word for father (aita) and the Finnish word for mother (äiti).

mother is ima

Word derivation for "mother" :
Basque = ama, Finnish = äiti

This is a new word, not a revision.

brother is aveni (revisited)

aveni = brother (noun) (some things Google found for "aveni": an uncommon term: a last name than can be Italian in origin; user names; Aveni Cleaners in Massachusetts; an Australian masculine first name; name of a town in Papua New Guinea)

Word derivation for "brother" :
Basque = anaia, Finnish = veli
Miresua = aveni

My previous word for "brother" was "valni". I think having more vowels in my Miresua word better resembles the Basque and Finnish source words.

son is pame

Word derivation for "son" :

This word is intentionally somewhat similar to my Miresua conlang word for "boy" which is "pimal". In Finnish the word for "son" is the same as the word for "boy".
