cat is meia

meia = cat (Lhaesine pronunciation = MEE-uh) (some things Google found for "meia": a very common term; means "stocking" or "half" in Portuguese perhaps depending on if there's an accent mark on the "e" or not; name of someone in Brazil's Siamese cat, with accent mark – a sign that this "word" was meant to be! ; MEIA is Manitoba Environmental Industries Association; inspired by meow, what cats say; I considered using "feia" instead but that unfortunately meant "ugly" in Portuguese)

This word has been revised. The Lhaesine word for "cat" is now "mehe". This posting is no longer current.
