baby is vaur

vaur = baby (noun) (some things Google found for "vaur": an uncommon term; a last name, notably French actor Georges Vaur; a place in the Alsace region of France; Vaur Run is a stream in Butler county Pennsylvania; a ghost town in Mora county in northern New Mexico; La Vaure is a place in the Aquitaine region of France)

Word derivation for "baby" :
Basque = haur, Finnish = vauva
Miresua = vaur

Both the Basque word and the Finnish word have "au" for the second and third letters. I followed their example for my Miresua conlang word.

boat is evoni (revisited)

evoni = boat (noun) (some things Google found for "evoni": a rare term; user names; a feminine first name; Evoni fashion doll; an unusual last name)

Word derivation for "boat" :
Basque = ontzi, Finnish = vene
Miresua = evoni

My previous Miresua conlang word for "boat" was "novte", which was a rather odd combination of letters. Having my new word be a feminine first name seems fitting, as boats are often referred to by sailors as she.

pig is serki

serki = pig (animal) (noun) (some things Google found for "serki": an uncommon term; serki.com is a Turkish website; user names; a first name that is may be Serbo-Croatian or Turkish; a last name than can be Hungarian; appears to mean something in Polish; apparently means "Saracen" in High Icelandic; places in Pakistan, Russia, and Papua New Guinea; first part of several two-word place names in Niger)

Word derivation for "pig" :
Basque = txerri, Finnish = sika
Miresua = serki

I used the common vowel for the final vowel. I decided not to use the tx from the Basque word. I couldn't start this word with r, due to one of my conlang rules.

This word is a Miresua word for a type of animal. My definition is not in any way intended to be a comment about other serki.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for pig is now sirri.

west is belsenä (revisited)

belsenä = west (noun) (some things Google found for "belsena": an uncommon to rare term; Belsana and Belsena Mills are towns in Pennsylvania, the name was changed or corrupted from "Belle Sena" (beautiful scene); there was a Belsena Coal Mining Company in the 1890s in New Jersey)

Word derivation for "west" :
Basque = mendebalde, Finnish = länsi
Miresua = belsenä

My previous Miresua conlang word for west was beldenä.  This is a small change to use closer to an equal share of letters from the Finnish word.   The Basque word for west is amazingly lengthy (ten letters!), but that's what it is.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for west is now mensi.

east is iketä (revisited)

iketä = east (noun) (some things Google found for "iketa": an uncommon to rare term; Iketa was a 2D fighting game for Commodore 64; a last name that can be Japanese; song title by Polygon Window also known as Aphex Twin; in Star Wars universe iketa stones are used for decoration on Geonosian military uniforms: an unusual feminine first name; Iketa is a Beauty Shop company in Lithuania; user names; a place in Japan)

Word derivation for "east" :
Basque = ekialde, Finnish = itä
Miresua = iketä

My previous Miresua conlang word for east was eldikä.  I've changed this word to start with the common letter "i", and to use the consonant from the Finnish word.  The Basque suffix "-alde" which means "area, nearness, around" seems to be an integral part of the Basque word for "east".

north is pihor (revisited)

pihor = north (noun) (some things Google found for "pihor": an uncommon to rare term; Pihor ("he who belongs to Horus") was one of two young defied sons of a local chieftain honored along with a several Egyptian gods by the Temple of Dendur, a Roman period Nubian temple; a last name that can be Estonian or Hungarian)

Word derivation for "north" :
Basque = ipar, Finnish = pohjoinen
Miresua = pihor

I'm redoing this Miresua word. I wanted to start it with p, the common consonant. My previous Miresua word for north was jipore.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for north is now pohar.

south is elego (revisited)

elego = south (noun) (some things Google found for "elego": an uncommon term; elego Software Solutions GmbH of Germany; a last name that can be Hispanic; Elego Ltd of Bulgaria sells construction materials; character names; user names)

Word derivation for "south" :
Basque = hego, Finnish = etelä
Miresua = elego

I'm modifying this word because the Basque word that I previously used for "south" wasn't entirely correct.  This time I'm using "hego" instead of "hegoalde". In Basque "hegoalde" can mean "south", but it also means "southern area".  The Basque suffix "-alde" means "area, nearness, around".   My previous Miresua conlang word for south was oltede.

nose is nuräs

nuräs = nose (noun) (anatomy) (some things Google found for "nuras": an uncommon term; user names; Forum-Nuras scuba diving forum of Poland; gaming character names; a last name; Nuras LTD machine tools of Cyprus; Al Nuras Marine in United Arab Emirates)

Word derivation for "nose" :
Basque = sudur, Finnish = nenä
Miresua = nuräs

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for nose is now nedur.

sand is herkan

herkan = sand (noun) (some things Google found for "herkan": an uncommon to rare term; user names; an unusual last name; name of a male Thoroughbred horse; orc character on World of Warcraft; similar word "herkän" seems to mean something in Finnish but I'm unable to translate it; a place in Iran)

Word derivation for "sand":
Basque = hondar, Finnish = hiekka
Miresua = herkan

My Miresua conlang word for sand is a six-letter word starting with h, because the Basque and Finnish words for sand are both six-letter words starting with h.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for sand is now hiedar.

cat is kitsa (revisited)

kitsa = cat (animal) (noun) (some things Google found for "kitsa": an uncommon term; user names; a last name; a feminine first name that can be Greek; name of several cats (which was an odd result but a good sign for my word definition); KITSA is the Kangan Batman TAFE Student Association in Australia; gaming character name; places in Russia and Estonia)

Word derivation for "cat":
Basque = katu, Finnish = kissa
Miresua = kitsa

My previous Miresua word for cat, kisu, wasn't a particularly good mix of the Basque and Finnish words, and beside it means "lime, gypsum, plaster" in Basque. I considered using "kita" but that word means "jaws" in Finnish, which made me laugh.

By the way, my word for "cat" in Lhaesine, my other conlang, is mehe. The Lhaesine word for cat seems close to meow, while the Miresua word seems close to kitten.

This Miresua conlang word was changed to katsi, then changed back to kitsa.

street is kalu

kalu = street (noun) (some things Google found for "kalu": an uncommon term; KALU is the Nasdaq stock symbol for Kaiser Aluminum Corp.; Kalu Rinpoche (1905-1989) was a Tibetan Buddhist master and teacher; user names, a last name which can be Nigerian; name of places in Pakistan, North Korea, India, Iran, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea, and Sudan)

Word derivation for "street":
Basque = kale, Finnish = katu
Miresua = kalu

Both the Basque and Finnish words start with "ka", so I've also started my Miresua conlang word with "ka", and there's very little scrambling of letters.

donkey is asoi

asoi = donkey (animal) (noun) (some things Google found for "asoi": an uncommon term; means "passionate, hot, wonderful, super" in Indonesian - which may be why this word shows up in connection with probably Indonesian web videos; places in Indonesia and Russia; user names; In Egypt ASOI stands for Arabic Society of Oral Implantology; to World Wildlife Fund ASOI stands for Antarctic & Southern Ocean Initiative; a last name that can be Japanese)

Word derivation for "donkey":
Basque = asto, Finnish = aasi
Miresua = asoi
