west is madan (redone)

madan = west (Lhaesine pronunciation = MAH-dahn) (noun, adjective, adverb) (direction) (some things Google found for "madan": a common term; a last name and a first name that can be from India; The Madan or Marsh Arabs are a people from southern Iraq; Sudalai Madan is an ancient non-Vedic Tamil male deity of South India; Madan Plantation grows Arabica coffee in New Guinea; means "mine (excavation)" in Indonesian; means "mineral" in Urdu (transliterated); name of cities in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Armenia, Yemen, Cuba, Burma, and Bulgaria)

My previous Lhaesine word for "west" was "maigor". My new word is simpilier and goes better with my other cardinal compass point words.

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 This posting is no longer current.

wood is helar (revisited)

helar = wood (Lhaesine pronunciation = HEH-lahr) (noun, adjective) (material) (some things Google found for "helar": an uncommon term; verb meaning "to freeze" in Spanish; Helar Ltd Scandinavian furniture of the UK; a last name which can be English and Belgian; user names and gaming character names; Helar Marketing And Consultant Pvt Ltd of India is in the rubber industry; HELAR s.r.o. of Czech Republic produces motorcycle and bicycle helmets; a place in Iran)

My previous Lhaesine word for "wood" was "halh", which was an atypical word that even I wanted to mispronounce. I'm modifying this word because I'd like common words in this conlang to be (or at least look) pronounceable.

gate is barul (redone)

barul = gate (Lhaesine pronunciation = BAH-ruhl) (noun) (some things Google found for "barul": an uncommon term; a last name, notably French football player Patrick Barul; Barul-Mare and Barul Mic are cities in Romania)

My previous Lhaesine word for "gate" was "bahit", which was rather atypical looking. The new word "barul" rhymes with my word for "cold" which is "marul".

My previous Lhaesine word for "today" was "nalra". I'm modifying this word because I don't think I'll be allowing the consonant combination of "lr".

silk is pache (revisited)

pache = silk (Lhaesine pronunciation = PAYCH, not pronounced like "apache") (noun, adjective) (some things Google found for "pache": an uncommon term; a last name which can be Swiss, notably photographer Philippe Pache and French Revolution era politician Jean-Nicolas Pache; Pache Management Company of Ohio manages the properties; PACHE is a charitable trust working with drop-outs and illiterate children in southern India; means "flowers" in Ayapathu which is an Australian Aboriginal language; means "her, his" in Chewa (or Chichewa) which is a language south-central Africa; means exists in Marathi (Transliterated) which is a language of India; name of cities in Guatemala, Afghanistan, and Guinea-Bissau)

This word was originally intended to be the word for linen in Miresua, my other conlang, but as I do so often in Lhaesine, I changed my mind. Miresua is an eclectic alphabetic combination of Basque and Finnish and follows a different set of rules. Not all words intended for Miresua can be used in Lhaesine. For instance, the word I ended up using for linen in Miresua, avari, would not be allowed in Lhaesine because it contains a "v" and ends in "i".
