tamitz = oak (tree, wood) (noun) (some things Google found for "tamitz": a rare term; user names; a rare last name; a very rare first name; similar Stamitz is the last name of a family of Czech composers; similar Tamitsa is the name of a place in a Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia)
Word derivation for "oak" :
Basque = haritz, Finnish = tammi
Miresua = tamitz
My previous Miresua conlang word for oak was mitar, which was a total alphabetic scramble. Years ago I wasn't trying to make my words look like a mix of Basque and Finnish.
The word oak doesn't occur in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland or Through the Looking-Glass.
Miresua is an imaginary, artificial, constructed language; a conlang. These words are not randomly generated. Miresua is an eclectic alphabetic mix of Basque and Finnish, two unrelated European languages.

tree is puiz (revisited)
puiz = tree (noun) (some things Google found for "puiz": an uncommon term; an unusual last name; a rare first name; user names; a misspelling of quiz; means a well in Middle French; similar Puis is a place in the Philippines)
Word derivation for "tree" :
Basque = zuhaitz, Finnish = puu
Miresua = puiz
My previous Miresua conlang word for tree was pauzu. I'm redoing this word mainly for esthetic reasons. I like that this change makes the word for tree more like the word for wood, pur.
By the way, putz would have been a good alphabetic mix of the Basque and Finnish words, but I don't want to insult trees by calling a tree a putz.
The word tree (and also trees) appears quite a few times in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

forest is boste
