bold is ral (redone)

ral = bold (Lhaesine pronunciation = RAHL) (adjective) (some things Google found for "ral": a very common term; RAL (color space system) is German-developed system mainly used to describe paint colors; RAL stands for Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK; RAL stands for Refund Anticipation Loan which tax services offer; RAL stands for Research Applications Laboratory to NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research); RAL stands for Richmond Animal League; RAL Supply Group Inc. of New York; RAL Resort Property Management Inc.; first name of a masculine anime character; Ral Partha was a company that made miniature figures for role playing games; places in India and Portugal)

My previous Lhaesine word for "bold" was "redh". I won't be using the "dh" consonant combination in this conlang. This was another word I created some time ago. I've redone the word.

sorcery is soixar (revisited)

soixar = sorcery (Lhaesine pronunciation = SOIKS-awr) (noun, adjective) (some things Google found for "soixar": a rare term; a web fractured or misspelling of the French word "soixante" which means "sixty"; means something in a constructed language called Paralingua)

My previous Lhaesine word for "sorcery" was "soixha". I don't know what I was thinking with that weird "xh" combination. I'm revising this word to fit within my conlang rules.

hair is eche (revisited)

eche = hair (Lhaesine pronunciation = EECH) (noun) (some things Google found for "eche": a very common term; a last name; ECHE stands for European Conference on the History of Economics; ECHE stands for European Conference on Health Economics; user names; Middle English spelling of "each"; means "bait" in French; means "throw or jettison" in Spanish)

My previous Lhaesine conlang word for "hair" was "eicha". Although it may not look like it from the spelling, as far as pronunciation this change merely removes the last syllable. The plural of the Lhaesine word "eche" is "eichur".

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 This posting is no longer current.

cruel is trouca

trouca = cruel (Lhaesine pronunciation = TROO-kuh) (noun) (some things Google found for "trouca": an uncommon to rare term; rue du Pont Trouca and Roc Trouca in Avignon, France; Goera trouca is a species of some kind of insect-like critter; name on a UK dinner/dating site; Baou Trouca appears in some French place names)

In hindsight, after doing this Lhaesine conlang word, I wonder if I had the English words "truculent" (savage, ferocious) and "truncheon" (club, staff, baton) in the back of my mind.

flower is talis (revisited)

talis = flower (Lhaesine pronunciation = TAH-lihs) (noun) (some things Google found for "talis": a common term; a UK based company using Semantic Web technologies that has library management software; Talis Advisory Services LLC is a Texas-based Investment Advisor; Talis Group offers staffing services in Kentucky; k. talis jewelry; a first name that can me masculine or feminine; Talis Real Estate Group of San Francisco Bay Area; Talis Haftetiketten GmbH sells self-adhesive labels; a last name that can be British; means "such, of such a kind" in Latin; name of cities in Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Greece)

My previous Lhaesine word for "flower" was "talise". I'm dropping the final "e", which is silent, but this alters the pronunciation of the word. This change is like dropping the final "e" off the word "kite" and getting "kit".

This word has been revised, again. The word for "road" is now "soaha". This posting is no longer current.
