twelve is heth (redone)

heth = twelve (Lhaesine pronunciation = HEHTH) (adjective) (number) (some things Google found for "heth": a common term; a last name, notably Confederate Civil War general Henry Heth (pronounced to rhyme with "teeth") and elderly black woman Joice Heth who P.T. Barnum put on display in 1835 advertising that she was the 161-year-old former nurse of George Washington(!); a letter in many Semitic alphabets; Heth & Jed are NYC musicians or buskers; The Children of Heth are a Canaanite nation in the Hebrew Bible; name of a Jaredite in the Book of Mormon; means "dog" in Arapaho; a town in Arkansas; a city in Pakistan)

Continuing with number revisions. My previous Lhaesine word for "twelve" was "heita". My new word is simplier. Note that my word for "two" is "hede".

This word has been redone. The Lhaesine word for "twelve" is now "cers". This posting is no longer current.

eleven is maigur (revisited)

maigur = eleven (Lhaesine pronunciation = MAY-guhr) (adjective) (number) (some things Google found for "maigur": an uncommon to rare term; a last name that's possibly a variation of Maguire and a name from India; a road in the city of Jamkhandi in the State of Karnataka in India)

My previous Lhaesine word for "eleven" was "magre". I've changed the spelling, but the pronunciation remains nearly the same. My new word is two syllables, instead of just one. It bears some resemblance to my word for "one" which is "mag".

This word has been revised. The Lhaesine word for "eleven" is now "jaem". I decided that I didn't want my word for eleven to look like my word for one; I changed my mind.

This word has been revised again. The Lhaesine word for "eleven" is now "jond". This posting is no longer current.

paint is bresane (revisited)

bresane = paint (Lhaesine pronunciation = BREH-sayn) (noun) (some things Google found for "bresane": an uncommon to rare term; a place in Croatia and/or Serbia & Montenegro and/or Kosovo; a last name that can be Brazilian)

My previous Lhaesine word for "paint" was "brese". I'm lengthening the word by two letters, and at the same time making it look less like the word for wheat which is "brene".

19 July 2008

word is toalan (revisited)

toalan = word (Lhaesine pronunciation = TOE-lahn) (noun) (some things Google found for "toalan": an uncommon to rare term; an unusual last name that can be Irish in origin; user names; a misspelling of "to Alan"; an ancient culture on Sulawesi island of Indonesia around 5000-1000 B.C.)

My previous word for "word" was "tolcan", which had a "lc" consonant combination that I don't think I'll be using in Lhaesine.

ivy is saneisa

saneisa = ivy (Lhaesine pronunciation = sah-NEE-suh) (noun) (plant) (some things Google found for "saneisa": a rare term; user names; an unusual feminine name; a last name of someone in Panama; saneisa.com was a former web domain featuring Celtic and Medieval Merchandise)

I seem to be creating mostly four-letter and five-letter words for Lhaesine. More variation in the length of my words would probably be good, so here's a seven-letter word.

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

11 July 2008

seven is teful (revisited)

teful = seven (Lhaesine pronunciation = TEH-fuhl, nearly rhymes with devil) (adjective) (number) (some things Google found for "teful": an uncommon to rare term; a sequence of letters contained in the words grateful, spiteful, wasteful, and tasteful; mispelling of T-fal which is a brand of cookware and housewares; user names; a last name)

My previous Lhaesine word for "seven" was "tewil". This is a revision for easing pronunciation.

pink is beras (revisited)

beras = pink (Lhaesine pronunciation = BEH-rahce) (adjective) (color) (some things Google found for "beras": a common term; a last name; BERAS stands for Baltic Ecological Recycling Agriculture and Society; a supply company based in the Faroe Islands; a misspelling of "bears"; means "rice" in Indonesian and Malay; means "birch" in Lithuanian; places in Bangladesh, Albania, and Norway)

My most recent Lhaesine word for "pink" was "besre", before that it was "dusre". Both were not that easy to pronounce.

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