white is saye (revisited)

saye = white (Lhaesine pronunciation = SAY'y) (adjective) (color) (some things Google found for "beida": a very common term;a last name; a feminine first name, notably Persian actress Saye Yabandeh; Baron Saye and Sele is a title in the Peerage of England; SAYE is an acronym for Save As You Earn; an obsolete English spelling of say; a woollen cloth woven in the west and south of England in and around the 15th and 16th centuries; name of cities in Nigeria, Burma, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, and Mauritania)

My previous Lhaesine word for "white" was "sare". There was nothing truly wrong with that word. I merely thought I was overusing the letter r in my words for colors.

Today's word white is for White Christmas. There's snow on the ground from the last storm.

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 This posting is no longer current.

brass is taiya (revisited)

taiya = brass (Lhaesine pronunciation = TAY-yuh) (metal alloy) (Some things Google found for "taiya": an uncommon term; a river and inlet near Skagway in Alaska; a feminine first name; means "tire, rubber covering on a wheel" in Japanese (transliterated); name of a city in South Korea; name of a town in Papua New Guinea)

My previous Lhaesine word for "brass" was "taiyen". This is a small modification.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. It is often used as decoration and for coins. In antiquity, polished brass was often used as a mirror.

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 This posting is no longer current.

autumn is yaeril (revisitied)

yaeril = autumn (Lhaesine pronunciation= YAAW-rihl) (noun) (season) (some things Google found for "yaeril": a rare term; user names; an rare last name that can be English; name of a World of Warcraft night elf rogue character)

My previous Lhaesine word for "autumn" was "yaril". I decided to lengthen this word so that my word for autumn has the same number of letters as my word for spring.

ocean is celis (revisited)

celis = ocean (Lhaesine pronunciation = KEH-lihs) (noun) (some things Google found for "celis": an uncommon term; a US brewery purchased by Michigan Brewing Company and a name on several types of their beers such as Celis White and Celis Grand Cru; a last name, notably Belgian brewmaster Pierre Celis; CELIS LED tail light set; a misspelling possibly deliberately of ED drug Cialis; the name of cities in Ecuador and Spain)

My previous Lhaesine word for "ocean" was "cerhis". That word was too similar to my word for "forest" which is "larhis".
