bed is nad (revisited)

nad = bed (Lhaesine pronunciation = NAHD) (noun) (some things Google found for "nad": a very common term; NAD Electronics sells audio/video components; NAD is an acronym for National Association of the Deaf; NAD is an acronym for National Advertising Division; NAD+ is an acronym for the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; NAD is the currency code for the Namibian Dollar; an unusual first name; a unusual last name; means "above" in Czech and Polish; name of places in Ireland, India and Iran; Nad Ali is a district in Helmand Province, Afghanistan)

My previous word for "bed" was "nar". This was a small change, and I plan to reuse "nar".

mattress is tarepe

tarepe = mattress (Lhaesine pronunciation = TAH-reep) (noun) (some things Google found for "tarepe": an uncommon to rare term; a rare last name that can be Filipino; Tarepe stream in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand; El Tarepe is a place in the state of Michoacan in Mexico)

I admit that mattress is a somewhat odd word to define. This is a word that appears in a paragraph I'm attempting to translate to Lhaesine.

chair is rahan (revisited)

rahan = chair (Lhaesine pronunciation = RAH-hahn) (noun) (some things Google found for "rahan": a common term; Rahan is a blond, loincloth-clad caveman character in a French comic series of the same name; Rahan is a parrish in County Offaly Ireland that has a complex of ancient church ruins; Rahan Lodge Country Retreat B&B, dating from 1740, in Ireland; Rahan Guitars; Rahan Meristem is an Israeli Biotechnology company; Rahan Garmnets of Bangladesh; user names; place in Iran "Sar Takht-e Do Rahan"; means "coin" in Finnish; means "mercy" in Indonesian; means "pawn" in Maltese)

My previous Lhaesine word for chair was "nahar". For this new word, I swapped two letters around. This is my third attempt at a word for "chair", hopefully this one will stick.

table is madec (redone)

madec = table (Lhaesine pronunciation = MAH-dek) (noun) (some things Google found for "madec": an uncommon term; MADEC is a provider of employment, education and training services in Australia; MADEC is The Martial Arts Development Commission in the UK; Madec Computing Ltd is a software development company in Ireland; a last name, notably Rene-Marie Madec, a man who was a 18th century French adventurer in India; Madec Quarry in Brittany, France; user name)

My previous word for table was "nahar". I think that "madec" works better.
