My previous Miresua conlang word for ring was sozrun. I'm changing this word because the consonants ZR don't seem to occur together in Basque. Z isn't used in Finnish.

I found the word ring once in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. This quote comes from Chapter 3: A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale.

The next thing was to eat the comfits: this caused some noise and confusion, as the large birds complained that they could not taste theirs, and the small ones choked and had to be patted on the back. However, it was over at last, and they sat down again in a ring, and begged the Mouse to tell them something more.

Due to my being busy with other things, I didn't get a post done for September 30. So I missed my previous scheduled posting day. Oops.

The word plate occurs a handful of times, although one time as a nameplate, in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

"I want a clean cup," interrupted the Hatter: "let's all move one place on."

He moved on as he spoke, and the Dormouse followed him: the March Hare moved into the Dormouse's place, and Alice rather unwillingly took the place of the March Hare. The Hatter was the only one who got any advantage from the change: and Alice was a good deal worse off than before, as the March Hare had just upset the milk-jug into his plate.
