cat is mehe (revisited)

mehe = cat (Lhaesine pronunciation = MEE'h) (noun) (some things Google found for "mehe": a common term; a user name; means "manhood, mankind" in Estonian, book Õige Mehe Koda (1940, The House of a Righteous Man) by Karl Ristikivi; a hard rock/metal band from Norway; MEHE stands for Master of Education in Health Education at University of Houston; user names; MEHE stands for Ministry of Education and Higher Education in Lebanon; a short river in Lower Saxony, Germany; means "thin" in Basque; "me he" means "here" in Sinhala (transliterated), a language of Sri Lanka; means "ant-hill" in Ruguru, a language of Tanzania; means "me" in Umbrian, a dialect of modern Italian or a dead Italian language; a place in Pakistan)

This change is for the most part a spelling simplification. My previous Lhaesine word for "cat" was "meiya" which was pronounced nearly the same.
