son is tir (redone)
tir = son (Lhaesine pronunciation = TIHR) (noun) (some things Google found for "tir": a very common term; Tír na nÓg in Irish Mythology is an Otherworld which in English is called something like the Land of Eternal Youth; the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) has a kingdom of An Tir; Tir is a Macedonian International Freight Forwarder; TIR stands for Thermal Infrared in a NASA radiometer; TIR stands for Traumatic Incident Reduction in health; TiR stands for Teacher in Residence at Metropolitan State College of Denver; "tir" means "country" in Irish; places in Pakistan, India, Turkey, Iran, and Sudan)
This is a major change. I'm redoing this word to something short, with only one syllable. My previous word for "son" was "cihan", which was related to my word for "man" which is "cin".

daughter is torha (revisited)
torha = daughter (Lhaesine pronunciation = TOHR-uh) (noun) (some things Google found for "torha": an uncommon to rare term; a misspelling or alternate spelling of "torah" which means "doctrine, teaching" in Hebrew (transliterated) and is the most important document in Judaism; user names; Ti-n-Torha caves of Tadrart Acacus area in Libya are archaeological sites; gaming character name; a last name)
My previous word for "daughter" was "torhan". This is a minor change, but it represents some rethinking. Although I hadn't planned to use grammatical gender in Lhaesine, I've tended to use the "a" ending for many feminine nouns. I studied Spanish in school, so I think that I unconsciously copied this from Spanish. (But, note, I have no words ending in "o", which is the Spanish masculine noun ending.)

sister is perhin (revisited)
perhin = sister (Lhaesine pronunciation = PEHR-ihn) (noun) (some things Google found for "perhin": an uncommon term; various user names; a misspelling or bad transcription of the last name "Perkin")
My previous Lhaesine word for "sister" was "pewan". I think my new word is somewhat easier to pronounce. So another tweaking of a word.
This word has been revised. The Lhaesine word for "sister" is now "leaya". This posting is no longer current.

six is aler (redone)
aler = six (Lhaesine pronunciation = AH-lehr) (adjective, noun) (number) (some things Google found for "aler": a very common term; a last name, notably American tenor John Aler; part of a computer virus name; user name; ALER stands for AquaLogic Enterprise Repository which is a BEA software product; ALER stands for Asociación Latinoamericana de Educación Radiofónica (Latin American Association of Radio Education); misspelling or typo of "alert"; Old French verb meaning "to go")
My previous Lhaesine word for "six" was "jome", which didn't seem quite the right word for this conlang. As this blog shows, I freqently make revisions. This word was completely redone.

lyre is losind (redefined)
losind = lyre (Lhaesine pronunciation = LOH-sihnd) (noun) (musical instrument) (some things Google found for "losind": an uncommon to rare term; an unusual last name; common misspelling of "losing"; a place name in a fantasy story on Elfwood; LOSind can be a Length of Stay indicator)
This is a redefined word. Back about two years ago, "losind" was the Lhaesine word for "storm" (see previous posting), before I completely redid the word for "storm". I wanted to reuse this word.
