owl is holtö

holtö = owl (bird) (noun) (Some things Google found for "holto": an uncommon term; Holto is a last name which can be Norwegian; user names; means "wood" in Old Dutch; means "where" in Pulaar which is a language of Mauritania in Northwest Africa; Holto (also known as Holt) is the name of a city in northeast China)

Word derivation for "owl" :
Basque = hontza, Finnish = pöllö
Miresua = holtö

I noticed that the Basque word for owl (hontza) is very similar to my Miresua word for falcon (hatza). I may have to revisit my word for falcon. Also the Finnish word for owl (pöllö) is nearly the same as the Spanish word for chicken (pollo).

No word graphic, at least for now. The graphics package I use had a problem with the ö (o umlaut) in my Miresua word.

Added my own graphic for holtö.

The graphic package has been fixed, new and improved graphic added.

falcon is hatza

hatza = falcon (bird) (noun) (Some things Google found for "hatza": an uncommon term; a last name, notably American jazz organist Greg Hatza; user names; Hashomer Hatza'ir or Hashomer Hatzair is a Jewish Zionist youth movement meaning "The Youth Guard")

Word derivation for "falcon" :
Basque = belatz, Finnish = haukka (falcon or hawk)
Miresua = hatza

This is the Miresua word for falcon, and it includes the peregrine falcon, kestrel, gyrfalcon and merlin.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for falcon is now balka.

hawk is aukora

aukora = hawk (bird) (noun) (Some things Google found for "aukora": an uncommon to rare term; a misspelling of Aurora which is the name of large cities in Mexico, California, Colorado, and Illinois; a rare first name; a rare last name as in Yoko Aukora; user names; may mean something in a Polynesian language)

Word derivation for "hawk" :
Basque = aztore, Finnish = haukka (hawk or falcon)
Miresua = aukora

Continuing with my words for birds. This is the Miresua word for goshawks and sparrowhawks.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for hawk is now aukore.

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

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".

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

maka = magpie (bird) (noun) (some things Google found for "maka": a very common term; a last name; the Maka or Makaa are an ethnic group of Cameroon; Maka Albarn is a female character in the anime and manga Soul Eater; Maka-Maka is a Japanese adult manga series; a Central North Pacific cyclone name; means "eye" in Hawaiian; means "so, therefore" in Indonesian and Malay; means "mug, to throw" in Maori; means "flour" in Polish; means "wife, spouse, married woman" in Swedish; the name of cities in Pakistan, Senegal, Malawi, Madagascar, Camaroon, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Russia, Mali, and the Solomon Islands)

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