sune = top (Lhaesine pronunciation = SOON) (adjective, noun) (some things Google found for "sune": an uncommon term; a masculine first name, notably Swedish biochemist Sune Karl Bergström (1916-2004); user names; a female deity of love and beauty in the fictional world of Forgotten Realms; Lalah Sune is a female character in anime Mobile Suit Gundam; a move sequence in solving Rubik's Cube; Sune is an alternative rock band; an Afrikaans feminine first name; Hong Kong Sune Global Limited is company selling mobile phone accessories; places in Iraq, Spain, Sudan, and Burkina Faso)
My previous word for "top" was "esugre". It was, upon reconsideration, overly long and unwieldy.
Lhaesine is a conlang, an artificial or constructed language. This is a project to invent a lexicon of new "words" in an imaginary language. Postings shows English to Lhaesine, my approximate Lhaesine word pronunciation, and what Google search found for my made-up word.

healthy is litena
litena = healthy (Lhaesine pronunciation = lih-TEH-nuh) (adjective) (some things Google found for "litena": an uncommon to rare term; user names; LITENA, UAB is a Lithuanian textile company; Litena Farm SRL in Romania; a misspelling, perhaps deliberately, of "retina" or retin-A"; a rare feminine first name)
This is another word that I've recycled from my other unrelated conlang, Miresua. Litena previously meant "tin", the metal, in Miresua. It's nearly impossible for me to reuse changed words within Miresua, because words in Miresua are built from the lettters found in the Basque and Finnish words. Fortunately for me litena also worked in Lhaesine. I have rules for what is allowed in Lhaesine, but most are unwritten.
