to be (to exist) is ozal (revisited)

ozal = to be (verb "to be/to exist" - to be - infinitve) (some things Google found for "ozal": a very common term; similar Özal (or Ozal) is an uncommon last name, notably former Prime Minister and President of Turkey Turgut Özal; name of a character in Clash of the Titans (2010); an unusual first name; Özal Group is a Turkish conglomerate; means "ago, before" in Turkmen)

Word derivation for "to be/to exist":
Basque = izan, Finnish = olla
Miresua = ozal

This is the other verb to be, to be/to exist, the infinitive form. Similar to the Spanish verb ser. My previous Miresua word for "to be/to exist" was olna. I'm changing this word because the LN consonant combination was odd. Having a Z in the new word will remind me to treat this verb like the Basque verb izan.

That's enough verbs and verb conjugations for now. Next month, something different.

Basque = ziren, Finnish = olivat

This is a correction. I must have been looking at the wrong Basque verb conjugation earlier. My previous word, onivan, didn't follow my established rules. It used two "N" when there was only one "N" between Basque and Finnish words available. Oops!

This post starts a series of revisions of conjugations of an important verb. Yes, I have been working on verbs.

is (he/she/it is) is oda

oda = is (verb "to be/to exist" - he/she/it is - 3rd person singular)(some things Google found for "oda": a very common term; Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582) was a major daimyo or feudal ruler in Japan; a last name that is likely Japanese; ODA is an acronym for Oregon (and Ohio) Department of Agriculture; ODA stands for Ohio (and Oregon and Ontario) Dental Association; ODA stands for Olympic Delivery Authority for London 2012 Olympics; ODA stands for Office of Degree Authorization; ODA stands for Out-of-Door Academy of Florida; a feminine first name; Saint Oda of Scotland (c.680-c.726) was a Scottish princess who became a holy woman in the Netherlands; Saint Oda or Odo also called the Good or the Severe (died 958) was archbishop of Canterbury; oda means "there, thither, up" in Hungarian; means "ode" in Serbo-Croatian and Spanish; means "room, chamber, apartment" in Turkish; Oda is the name of places in Somalia, Serbia and Montenegro, Ethiopia, Japan, Ghana, Sudan, Turkey, Nigeria, Philippines, Pakistan, and Kenya)

Word derivation for "is (he/she/it is)(to be/to exist)":
Basque = da, Finnish = on
Miresua = oda

For this important word I'm using my seldom used option of making the Miresua word one letter longer than the Basque and the Finnish words. I wanted to have a vowel ending so that my verb would better resemble Finnish conjugations for 3rd person singular in the present tense. Besides, I think that "oda" looks esthetically better than "od".
