cat is meiya (revisited)

meiya = cat (Lhaesine pronunciation = MEE-ya) (some things Google found for "meiya": an uncommon term; must mean something in Chinese; Meiya Power Co. Ltd. in North Asia; Wenzhou Meiya Faucet Factory in China; Shunde Meiya Metalwork Co., Ltd.; Meiya College of International Studies Hunan University; Meiya, maker of Rangehoods and Gas Cooktops; Meiya Arts and Crafts Factory; Meiya Valley in Maolin National Scenic Area; a Chinese first name for girls; character in book The Paladin by C.J. Cherryh; a Japanese first name for boys)

Added one letter, the "y", to avoid possible conflict with a verb conjugation. Minor change to pronunciation.

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 This posting is no longer current.
