Word derivation for "chicken" :

Miresua = onoilaka

For my Miresua word for chicken I merely scrambled the letters from the Basque and the Finnish words. This simplified things for me. Both the Basque and the Finnish words seem to be begin with their word for hen, but I'm not entirely sure what to make of their endings.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. I found that kana was a better Finnish word for chicken, the bird. The word for chicken is now oikano.

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 "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)

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
