adan = uncle (Lhaesine pronunciation = AH-dahn) (noun) (some things Google found for "adan": a very common term; Adan (and Adán) is a masculine first name which
can be a Spanish form of Adam: a uncommon last name; a river in Maharashtra, India; a governorate of Yemen; name of places in Colombia, Cuba, Indonesia, India, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan)
My previous word for "uncle" was "aden". This is a small change. I thought adan was somehow more masculine than aden.
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.

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.)
