tirsar = silver (Lhaesine pronunciation = TIHRCE-ahr) (noun) (some things Google found for "tirsar": a rare term; a last name that's Romanian; means something in Turkish; Tirsar is a place name that translates as "arrow lake" in Punjab, India; possible misspelling of "tirar" which means "pull, take away" in Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan; a fantasy character name)

Since I decided to allow the "rs" consonant on the end of syllables, I'm reinstating this word for "silver" again. Instead of being pronounced "TIH-rsahr" it is "TIHRCE-ahr", similiar to the English words "tears are" but with a "s" sound instead of a "z".

My previous word for "difficult" was "terinpan", which no longer works within the rules for Lhaesine because of that "np" consoant combination. Over the years I've come up with various rules for building words in this conlang language.

Happy New Year!
