woolly is lirlasne

lirlasne = woolly (adjective) (some things Google found for "lirlasne": a unique term: did not match any documents)

Word derivation for "woolly":
(covered with or an abundance of wool)
Basque = artiletsu, Finnish = villainen
Miresua = lirlasne

The Basque suffix -tsu forms adjectives, expresses abundance. The Finnish suffix "-inen" or "nen" changes a noun to an adjective. In Miresua, the suffix "-sne" (or -isne) will mean "covered with or an abundance of a material". The "sn" combination doesn't seem to appear in either Basque or Finnish, but I think I will allow it Miresua to be different.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for "woolly" is now "avilesne".

In Basque and Finnish the words for month are similar to their words for moon. This makes sense. The English words are similar too. Upon consideration, I decided to redo my word in the Miresua conlang for moon. My previous Miresua word for moon was kigul.

My new word for moon, kuila, is a more obvious combination of Finnish and Basque than usual. Letters from both languages are used in order. I generally like to scramble letters and their positions.
