brass is taiyen

taiyen = brass (Lhaesine pronunciation = TAY-yen) (noun and adjective) (metal alloy) (some things Google found for "taiyen": an uncommon term; Taiyen Biotech Company Limited of Taiwan produces biofertilizer; Taiyen Memory Manager is software for Unix and Windows; a user name; Taiyen Group of Taiwan, in industrial salt production, also branched out to Taiyen Topao Bio Collagen and Taiyen Lumiel collagen skin Care products; "TaiYen" apparently means "Taiwan salt" in Chinese; a last name; seems to mean "drink" in xucuru, a Brazilian Indian language)

Brass is the term used for alloys of copper and zinc.

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 This posting is no longer current.
