list is sule

sule = list (Lhaesine pronunciation = SOOL) (noun) (some things Google found for "sule": a common term; Sule Pagoda is a Burmese stupa in Yangon, Myanmar; Sule (AKA Entis Sutisna) is an Indonesian comedian and actor; similar Süle Law Firm of Budapest, Hungary; an unusual last name; an unusual first name; similar Şule is a Turkish feminine first name; Sule Skerry and Sule Stack are tiny remote islands north of Scotland; name of places in Italy and Turkey)

I guess resuming the Lhaesine Dictionary Project was on my to-do bucket list.

word is toalan (revisited)

toalan = word (Lhaesine pronunciation = TOE-lahn) (noun) (some things Google found for "toalan": an uncommon to rare term; an unusual last name that can be Irish in origin; user names; a misspelling of "to Alan"; an ancient culture on Sulawesi island of Indonesia around 5000-1000 B.C.)

My previous word for "word" was "tolcan", which had a "lc" consonant combination that I don't think I'll be using in Lhaesine.

book is tocwa (revisited)

tocwa = book (Lhaesine pronunciation = TAW-kwuh) (noun) (some things Google found for "tocwa": a rare term; user name; FPV/TOCWA is a Ford car club where TOCWA stands for Tickford Owners Club of Western Australia; tocwa means "corn drink" in Wari' which is a rare language of Brazilian-Bolivian border region of the Amazon; first name of an African-American man)

My previous word for "book" was "toqwa". This is another change due to my removal of the letter "Q" from Lhaesine. I think this is an odd word, but I haven't decided to redo it.

poem is aonim (revisited)

aonim = poem (OW-nihm) (noun) (some things Google found for "aonim": an uncommon to rare term; AONim is a downloadable freeware game for EPOC Operating System; Topnaars (Aonim) of Namibia, a tribe of people, also AONIM camp; user names; appears on The Library of Babel)

Previously this word was "aunim". I'm tweaking the spelling to follow my current rules.
