cry, shout is huiha

huiha = cry, shout (noun, verb) (some things Google found for "huiha": an uncommon to rare term; an unusual last name; name of a photographed white wolf; user names; HuiHa Century Trade Limited Company of Beijing; similar Huihao (or Hui-hao) is the name of a place in Taiwan; similar Huia is a large black extinct bird of New Zealand)

Word derivation for "cry, shout":
Basque = oihu, Finnish = huuto(noun),huutaa(verb)
Miresua = huiha

There's an H in the Finnish word and an H in the Basque word; I used them both. Usually I don't do that, but it's allowed. I decided to end this word with an A, like the Finnish verb.

dance is tansa (revisited)

tansa = dance (noun, verb) (some things Google found for "tansa": an uncommon to common term; name of a river and dam near Mumbai, India; Tansa House at IIT Bombay; Tansa Systems AS offers text proofing tools; an unusual last name; an rare feminine first name; TANSA is an acronym for "There Ain't No Such Animal"; name of a cities in Romania, South Korea, India, and Philippines)

Word derivation for "dance":
Basque = dantza, Finnish = tanssi(noun),tanssia(verb)
Miresua = tasna

My previous word for dance, the noun, was tasna. I swapped around the N and S. Although I liked the word tasna, it doesn't keep the letters A and N together, as in both the Basque and the Finnish source words.

Perhaps I should have made this word dansa instead, since Basque uses D and Finnish doesn't. But that seemed too obvious a word for dance. Dansa means to dance in Faroese, Icelandic, and Swedish. But, in my defense, T is actually a common letter between the Basque and the Finnish words.

This Miresua conlang word is the noun, dance, and will be used to create the verb, to dance.

question is kylda

kylda = question (noun, verb) (some things Google found for "kylda": an uncommon term; Kylda Trading Co., Ltd. of China offers closeout and overstock shoes and clothes; a rare last name; user names; means chilled in Swedish; similarly named St Kilda is an inner city suburb of Melbourne, Australia)

Word derivation for "question, ask" :
Basque = galde/galdera, Finnish = kysymys(noun),kysyä(verb)
Miresua = kylda

This Miresua conlang word is the noun, question, and will be used to create the verb, to question. In Basque, it's another verb that is formed with the auxillary verb egin (to do, to make). You could also translate this verb as to ask, but not to ask for, request, which apparently is different verb in both Basque and Finnish.

cry, weep is netka

netka = cry, weep (noun, verb) (some things Google found for "netka": an uncommon term; an unusual last name; Netka is a unusual feminine first name that can be Russian; NETka.de is a German website search engine; stickin'netka is a fabric craft items Etsy shop; user names; Kef Netka is a place in Algeria; Netka Building and Apartments in Mound, Minnesota; Netka system Co. Ltd of Thailand sells IT management software)

Word derivation for "cry, weep" :
Basque = negar, Finnish = itku(noun),itkeä(verb)
Miresua = netka

The Finnish word, itkeä, is the verb to cry, weep. The Finnish noun for cry, weep is itku, which is similar. The Basque word, negar, is the noun to cry, and when used with the auxillary verb egin (to do, to make) becomes the verb. In Miresua, like Basque, this word is the noun and will be used to make the verb.

human is ihaki

ihaki = human (noun) (some things Google found for "ihaki": an uncommon to rare term; user names; a rare last name; similar Greek name Itháki for Ithaca which is an island in the Ionian Sea which was home of Homer's Odysseus; Ihaki church in Lahore; similar Iñaki (Inaki) is a Basque masculine first name which is a form of Ignatius)

Word derivation for "human" :
Basque = gizaki, Finnish = ihminen
Miresua = ihaki

I usually post words every four days, unless I have revisions, so this is an bonus word. This is the word for a human being. Human, the noun, not the adjective. Inspired by a constructed languages translation request for "We Are Human and We Are From Earth", a phrase I unfortunately can't translate into Miresua at this time.

This word deliberately starts like the Finnish word to avoid looking like the Miresua word for man, gines, and the Basque word for man, gizon. By the way, the word for man in Finnish is mies.

laugh is baura

baura = laugh (noun, verb) (some things Google found for "baura"; an uncommon term; an uncommon last name that can be Czech; Baura New York is a party and event planning company; Andrea Baura was a 14th century Augustinian monk who made prophecies; means bloom in Hindi (transliterated); means anchor in Swahili; name of cities in Bangladesh, India, East Timor, and Italy; place called El Baura in Colombia)

Word derivation for "laugh" :
Basque = barre, Finnish = nauru(noun),nauraa(verb)
Miresua = baura

The Finnish word nauraa is the verb to laugh. But the Basque word barre is the noun to laugh, which is used with the auxillary verb egin (to do, to make) to create verbal phrases. In Miresua, I'm thinking of following the Basque example, and not conjugating this verb.

light (pale) is vigla

vigla = light (pale) (adjective) (some things Google found for "vigla": an uncommon term; a unusual last name; ViGLA is an acronym for Victorian Government Libraries Association of Australia; Soome is an Estonian song by Ivar Vigla; means "lookout, guard, watch" in Greek; The Vigla were elite guards in the Byzantine army; name of places in Greece; Mikri Vigla is a village on the Greek island of Naxos)

Word derivation for "light" (adjective) :
Basque = argi, Finnish = vaalea
Miresua = vigla

I don't know about having the letters G and L together, but I like that vigla resembles vigilant. In Basque there are words words with LG consonant combinations. Guess I could say they the G and L are in different syllables?

The word for white in Finnish is valkoinen, which is similar to the Finnish words for light. In Miresua, my word for white is zulki, which starts like the Basque word, zuri. To be fair to Finnish, I want the Miresua words for light to start with V.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for light (of color) is now varga

light is vigo

vigo = light (noun) (some things Google found for "vigo": a very very common term; a last name that can be Italian; an uncommon first name which is also spelled Viggo; a city in the Galicia region of Spain; The Battle of Vigo Bay in 1702; Vigo (1998) is a movie drama based on the life of French filmaker Jean Vigo; name of a county in Indiana; name of cities and towns in Italy, Philippines, UK, and the USA)

Word derivation for "light" (noun) :
Basque = argi, Finnish = valo
Miresua = vigo

This is the Miresua noun light; that which makes it possible to see, opposed to darkness. I didn't use the common letter A, but given my suffix of -a for the definite article, "the light" will become vigoa.

My word uses the V from the Finnish word (Basque doesn't use V), and the G from the Basque word (G is only in borrowed words in Finnish).

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for light is now varo.

dark is ulme

ulme = dark (adjective) (some things Google found for "ulme": a very common term; ULMe are a German rock band; means elm in German; user names; an unusual last name; means smolder in Norwegian; similar ulmeühing means "sci-fi society" in Estonian; name of cities in North Korea, Portugal and Pakistan)

Word derivation for "dark" :
Basque = ilun, Finnish = pimeä
Miresua = ulme

I tried to use the P from the Finnish word, as well as the common letter I, but I didn't care for the letter combinations I came up with, some had crude meanings in other languages.

There is another Finnish adjective for dark, tumma, which means dark colored. The Finnish word I'm using, pimeä, means dark, unlit, lack of light. My Miresua conlang word, ulme, contains letters from both Finnish words.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. I'm making two words for dark. The word for dark (lack of light) is now ilmeä.

letter is lerja (revisited)

lerja = letter (noun) (some things Google found for "lerja: an uncommon term; a rare last name; Skyd Di Lerja is a song title by Norwegian pop singer Hans Petter Hansen; user names; similar word kirja means the noun work in Indonesian

Word derivation for "letter" (of the alphabet) :
Basque = letra, Finnish = kirjain
Miresua = lerja

This is the word for a letter of the alphabet, not a letter delivered by the post office. My previous word for letter was reilka, which a a bit of a mishmash although it was a valid alphabetic mix for Miresua. For my new word, I wanted to use the J from the Finnish word. In Miresua J, as in Finnish, is pronounced like Y.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for letter is now lerain.

story is tuina

tuina = story (noun) (some things Google found for "tuina": a common term; Tui na (sometimes tuina) is a Chinese hands-on body massage treatment; an unusual last name that can be Finnish; a genus of moth; name of a town in Brazil)

Word derivation for "story" :
Basque = ipuin, Finnish = tarina
Miresua = tuina

The Basque word istoria also means story, tale.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for story is now tupin.

poem is oruni

oruni = poem (noun) (some things Google found for "oruni": an uncommon term; similar Orunia (sometimes Oruni) is city near Gdansk in Poland; a rare last name that can be from Uganda; a rare first name; name of a WoW gaming character; may mean something in Korean (transliterated))

Word derivation for "poem" :
Basque = olerki, Finnish = runo
Miresua = oruni

In Basque the word poema also means poem.
