Word derivation for "six"
Basque = sei, Finnish = kuusi
Miresua = sui

My previous Miresua conlang word for six was usei, which broke a couple of my self-imposed, word building rules. The word should start with a consonant, as both the Basque and Finnish words do. Also, the Miresua word shouldn't of contained the Basque word in its entirety.

The word six occurs twice in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, one of which was quoted in the previous post. It also occurs five times in Through the Looking-glass including the following bit.

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one CAN'T believe impossible things."

This, I think, is a fitting word for nonsense. Note, that like Finnish, the Y is pronounced like U in French, or Ü in German. My Miresua word is as long as the shorter of the two words, nine letters.

The word nonsense occurs seven times in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

The Queen turned crimson with fury, and, after glaring at her for a moment like a wild beast, screamed "Off with her head! Off--"
