isai = father (noun) (some things Google found for "isai": a common term; a masculine first name that is from the Old Testament of the Bible; ISAI is an acronym for International Society of Applied Intelligence; a last name; IRAI ISAI Tamil Christian radio and TV; FCG ISAI Consulting of Finland offers business training; ISAI Technologies is a UK software development company)

Word derivation for "father" :

This is another new word. And I'm dropping back to my usual, every four days, schedule of posts to this blog.

Note the interesting similarity between the Basque word for father (aita) and the Finnish word for mother (äiti).

mother is ima

ima = mother (noun) (some things Google found for "ima": a very common term; a feminine first name, notably Texas philanthropist Ima Hogg; Ima Robot is a rock band based in Los Angeles; IMA is an acronym for Indianapolis Museum of Art; IMA is an acronym for Indian Medical Association; IMA is an acronym for Interactive Media Awards; IMA is an acronym for Interactive Multimedia Association; a last name; means "prayer, devotions, petition" in Hungarian; means "now, current time" in Japanese (transliterated); means "also, what" in Quechua; means "there are, there is" on Serbo-Croatian; means "hint, imply" in Turkish; name of cities in Japan, Central African Republic, Portugal, Congo, Morocco, and Angola; name of towns in Papua New Guinea, Russia, and Indonesia)

Word derivation for "mother" :
Basque = ama, Finnish = äiti
Miresua = ima

This is a new word, not a revision.

sand is hoira (revisited)

hoira = sand (noun) (some things Google found for "hoira": an uncommon term; a feminine first name that can be Filipino; user names; a last name)

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

My previous Miresua conlang word for sand was herkan. I'm changing this word because I thought it was too similar to the word for three which is herko.

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

three is herko (revisited)

herko = three (number) (adjective) (some things Google found for "herko": an uncommon term; a last name than can be Hungarian; Herko Automotive Group is a wholesaler in Florida; Herko Computers and Herko Web Designs of New York State; a masculine first name which can be Dutch; name of a "dimensional monster" that loved Lois Lane in a 1965 comic book; a name of a town in Cameroon)

Word derivation for "three" :
Basque = hiru, Finnish = kolme
Miresua = herko

My previous Miresua word for three was herlo. This is a small change, but a change that I think that makes sense.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for three is now kire.

brother is aveni (revisited)

aveni = brother (noun) (some things Google found for "aveni": an uncommon term: a last name than can be Italian in origin; user names; Aveni Cleaners in Massachusetts; an Australian masculine first name; name of a town in Papua New Guinea)

Word derivation for "brother" :
Basque = anaia, Finnish = veli
Miresua = aveni

My previous word for "brother" was "valni". I think having more vowels in my Miresua word better resembles the Basque and Finnish source words.

sister is ahisa (revisited)

ahisa = sister (noun) (some things Google found for "ahisa": an uncommon term: AHISA is an acronym for Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia; user name; Mexican life insurance company (Aseguradora Hidalgo S.A); a feminine first name)

Word derivation for "sister" :
Basque = ahizpa, Finnish = sisar
Miresua = ahisa

My previous word for sister was sazri.

My Miresua words for daughter and girl both look more like Finnish, although they are a mix of letters from the Finnish and Basque words. So to be fair, I'm changing this word so that it's more like Basque.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for sister is now aizar.

boy is pamil (revisited)

pamil = boy (noun) (some things Google found for "pamil": a very common term: Pamil Visions Internet PR; Pamil Fine Arts in San Juan, Puerto Rico; a first name that can be from India; a last name; Pamil Management Payroll Services Ltd of the UK)

Word derivation for "boy" :
Basque = mutil, Finnish = poika
Miresua = pamil

My previous Miresua word for "boy" was "pimal". I swapped the vowels around. I wanted my word for "boy" to look more like my word for "son" which is "pame".

This Miresua conlang word has been changed again. The word for "boy" is now "mikal".

daughter is tyla (revisited)

tyla = daughter (noun) (some things Google found for "tyla": a common term: a masculine first name notably vocalist of the rock band The Dogs D'Amour and motocross world champion Tyla Rattray; a feminine first name; TYLA is an acronym for Texas Young Lawyers Association; a last name; means "silence" in Lithuanian; a town in Russia)

Word derivation for "daughter" :
Basque = alaba, Finnish = tytär
Miresua = tyla

My previous word for "daughter" was "ätyla". I dropped one letter. Miresua words can be one letter shorter than the average length of the Basque and Finnish words.

I changed my word for "daughter" to make it look more like my word for "girl" which is "tynsa". Also I wasn't happy that "ätyla" would be pronounced in Miresua similar to Attila, as in Attlia the Hun.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for daughter is now tabar.

week is oska (revisited)

oska = week (noun) (some things Google found for "oska": a very common term: OSKA Clothing for women; OSKA (Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen) architects; Oska DeskMate software; user names; a last name; Oska Bright film festival of the UK shows short films made by people with learning disabilities; a masculine first name; means "hickory nut" in Chickasaw"; name of a town in Russia)

Word derivation for "week"
Basque = aste, Finnish = viikko
Miresua = oska

My previous word for week was soika. This change shortens the word, which will help with compound words. It's also good to add to the small number of Miresua words starting with "o".

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for week is now asko.

winter is tagu (revisited)

tagu = winter (noun and adjective) (some things Google found for "tagu": a very common term; user names; month in the traditional Burmese or Myanmar calendar (April); a last name; Tagu lizard; means "to choke, to strangle" in Welsh; name of cities in South Korea, Romania, Burma and Papua New Guinea)

Word derivation for "winter"
Basque = negu, Finnish = talvi
Miresua = tagu

My previous word for "winter" was "vilun". As both the Basque word and the Finnish word end in a vowel, I think my Miresua word should too.

four is julna (revisited)

julna = four (number) (adjective) (some things Google found for "julna": an uncommon term; a feminine first name; "Tumse Milna Julna" are lyrics from a Hindi song; JULNA is an air traffic controller waypoint in the US; name of male lead character (played by Tony Curtis) in adventure movie The Prince Who Was a Thief (1951) which is set in 13th century Tangiers)

Word derivation for "four"
Basque = lau, Finnish = neljä
Miresua = julna

My previous word for four was jela. Basque and Finnish may not contain the consonants ln together in their words, but I've included it in my Miresua conlang.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for four is now nelu.

five is vosi (revisited)

vosi = five (number) (adjective) (some things Google found for "vosi": an uncommon term; VOSI is an acronym for Voices of Safety International; a last name; user names; vosi hnizda is a Czech Christmas sweet; name of cities in Greece, Czech Republic, and Latvia)

Word derivation for "five"
Basque = bost, Finnish = viisi
Miresua = vosi

My previous word for "five" was "siboi". This word was changed because of the "oi" diphthong (neither the Basque word or the Finnish word has a diphthong) and because I somehow just didn't like that "siboi" was pronounced like SEE-BOY.
