ugly is rutsa

rutsa = ugly (adjective) (some things Google found for "rutsa": an uncommon to rare term; a last name which can be from Nagaland; user names; Akharekha Na-Rutsa (It Is You We Pursue) is a book by Rabbi Yuval Sherlo; RUTSA stands for Red Uruguaya de Televisión S.A. of Montevideo, Uruguay; a Hebrew feminine first name)

Word derivation for "ugly" :
Basque = itsusi, Finnish = ruma
Miresua = rutsa

My definition of "rutsa" as "ugly" in Miresua is not intended to be a comment on anyone or anything named Rutsa. I mean no disrespect to anyone with this name. I'm merely defining a word in my made-up conlang language, and languages unfortunately need some unflattering words.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for "ugly" is now "irutsa".

sun is urzeni (revisited)

urzeni = sun (noun) (some things Google found for "urzeni": an uncommon to rare term; a masculine first name that can be Brazilian; several user names from Turkey, may mean something in Turkish)

Word derivation for "sun" :
Basque = eguzki, Finnish = aurinko
Miresua = urzeni

For this revision I just swapped a letter around. My previous word for "sun" was "zureni". Since both the Basque and Finnish words start with vowels, I'd like my Miresua word to start with a vowel too, although that isn't an absolute rule. Also, putting two consonants in a row better resembles the letter pattern in the Basque and Finnish words.

If you think "urzeni" is an odd word for "sun", take a look at the Finnish and Basque words. In Lhaesine, my totally made-up conlang, my word for "sun" is "zere", which is much simpler.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for "sun" is now "ugenki".

water is uvi (revisited)

uvi = water (noun) (some things Google found for "uvi": a common term; UVI stands for University of the Virgin Islands; UVI stands for Ultaviolet Imager; UVI stands for Ultraviolet Index; UVI Workstation stands for Universal Software Instrument which is used for computer sound production; a feminine first name; a last name)

Word derivation for "water" :
Basque = ur, Finnish = vesi
Miresua = uvi

I read someone say that conlangs should try to keep it simple. That's making more sense to me. After some consideration, I've revised my Miresua word for "water" to "uvi". Previously my word for "water" was "ivru". As a bonus, my new word is exactly the average length of the Basque and Finnish words.

Word derivation for "copper" :
Basque = kobre, Finnish = kupari
Miresua = kepra

My previous word for copper was keburi. I decided to shorten the word, make it a bit simpler. Also I'm taking the opportunity to use the "p" which is letter I don't use often in Miresua.

.This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for copper is now kopri.

This Miresua word looks more like the Finnish word, because it starts with "s" and contains a "v", but it's actually an even mix of letters from the Basque and Finnish words.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for "pretty" is now "seipo".

brass is meitso (redone)

meitso = brass (metal alloy) (noun) (some things Google found for "meitso"; a rare term; user names; part of a Chinese name; part of a Brazilian name or perhaps a misspelling of Metso, which is a corporation in Brazil primarily in paper and minerals)

Word derivation for "brass" :
Basque = letoi, Finnish = messinki
Miresua = meitso

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.

My previous word for brass was esoilin. I'm changing this word in a major way. I'd like my Miresua conlang word to be formatted more like the Basque and Finnish words, specifically so that it starts with a consonant and ends with a vowel.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for brass is now mestoi.

My previous word for "bronze" was "erinto". This new word shares some similarities. Since both the Basque word and the Finnish word start with consonants, I prefer that my Miresua word begins with a consonant too. My new word is also a seven-letter word, the same length as my source words.

Word derivation for "and" :
Basque = eta, Finnish = ja
Miresua = ta

I realized that I could really use a word for "and" in Miresua. It would be helpful in composing phrases. I'm trying to work out some Miresua conlang grammar on my blog Tynsa irebä : Channeling the Green Girl.

Word derivation for "mirror" :
