pigeon is gauhky

gauhky = pigeon (bird) (noun) (some things Google found for "gauhky": a very rare term; Gauhky is an unusual last name)

Word derivation for "pigeon" :
Basque = pagauso (wood pigeon), Finnish = kyyhky (pigeon or dove)
Miresua = gauhky

I didn't want Miresua to use the same word for pigeon and dove, even though they are closely related birds. I like mourning doves, but I'm not that fond of rock pigeons. You wouldn't see this odd word (gauhky) in either Basque or Finnish, yet it's a reasonable mix of the Basque and Finnish words. Note that the y is pronounced as in Finnish, which is as the French u or German ü.

This Miresua word has been changed. I changed the Basque source word from paguso to uso, which means dove and pigeon. The word for pigeon is now usky.

blackbird is zostar

zostar = blackbird (bird) (noun) (some things Google found for "zostar": an uncommon term; user names; name of several gaming characters; a misspelling of zoster, as in varicella zoster virus (VZV), which is the cause of chicken pox in children and shingles in adults)

Word derivation for "blackbird" :
Basque = zozo, Finnish = mustarastas (literally: black thrush)
Miresua = zostar

Like the English word blackbird, the Finnish word is also a compound word containing the word for black. The Basque word is short, and isn't close to the word Basque word for black, but it interestingly can also translate as stupid or foolish.

seagull is koika

koika = seagull (bird) (noun) (some things Google found for "koika": an uncommon term; a feminine first name, notably showbiz name of a Russian X-rated model / actress; a unusual last name that can be Finnish; koika means "love song, love poem" in Japanese)

Word derivation for "seagull" :
Basque = kaio, Finnish = lokki
Miresua = koika

There were other words for seagull in Basque and Finnish, several were compound words, but I think these words are good for a large gull like a seagull.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for "seagull" is now "lakoi".

dove is kyshu

kyshu = dove (bird) (noun) (some things Google found for "kyshu": an uncommon to rare term; a misspelling of Kyushu which is the third largest of Japan's islands; user names; a character name in The Oasis...Starr's Tale; name of a World of Warcraft night elf druid game character)

Word derivation for "dove" :
Basque = uso, Finnish = kyyhky or kyyhkynen
Miresua = kyshu

Here's another bird word. The Finnish word for dove is one of the most intimidating looking words I've seen. But, given what bits I've learned about Finnish pronunciation, it sounds much nicer than it looks.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for "dove" is now "kyso".

finch is pento

pento = finch (bird) (noun) (some things Google found for "pento": an uncommon term; a last name, notably businessman Michael Pento; means "repentance" in Esperanto; means "I repent or I regret" in Italian; name of a city in India; Iso Pento is the name of a town in Finland)

Word derivation for "finch" :

Pento is the word for finch or chaffinch. There's another Basque word I could have used for finch - neguta, which is related to the Basque word for winter.

sparrow is txeparu

txeparu = sparrow (bird) (noun) (some things Google found for "txeparu": an unique term, did not match any documents)

Word derivation for "sparrow" :
Basque = txolarre, Finnish = varpunen
Miresua = txeparu

This word for sparrow was unique in Google, which is quite a feat, helped by the Basque tx consonant combination. In Miresua, as in Basque, tx is prounounced like ch. So txeparu would be pronounced like cheparu.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for "sparrow" is now "txuparne".

magpie is maka

Word derivation for "crow" :
Basque = bele, Finnish = varis
Miresua = beras

This is another new Miresua word. I'll be doing words for various types of birds.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for crow is now veles.

sheep is marda

marda = sheep (animal) (noun) (some things Google found for "marda": an uncommon term; a Palestinian city in the West Bank; a last name; a feminine first name; Marda Loop is a Business Revitalization Zone in Calgary, Alberta; user names; Marda is the name of towns in Senegal, Somalia and Australia)

Word derivation for "mouse" :
Basque = sagu, Finnish = hiiri
Miresua = sigi

My previous Miresua word for mouse was sahi. There was nothing wrong with that word, but it was too close in pronunciation to my new word for pig which is sarri.

This word is a word in the conlang language of Miresua. My definition is not in any way intended to be a comment about people or things named sigi.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for mouse is now higu.

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

My previous word for pig was serki. Nothing against that word, I wanted to use the rr from Basque. I don't usually like to define words that mean something in either Basque or Finnish, but this time I'll make an exception.

This word is a Miresua word for a type of animal. My definition is not in any way intended to be a comment about people or things named sarri.

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