cruel is trouca

trouca = cruel (Lhaesine pronunciation = TROO-kuh) (noun) (some things Google found for "trouca": an uncommon to rare term; rue du Pont Trouca and Roc Trouca in Avignon, France; Goera trouca is a species of some kind of insect-like critter; name on a UK dinner/dating site; Baou Trouca appears in some French place names)

In hindsight, after doing this Lhaesine conlang word, I wonder if I had the English words "truculent" (savage, ferocious) and "truncheon" (club, staff, baton) in the back of my mind.

flower is talis (revisited)

talis = flower (Lhaesine pronunciation = TAH-lihs) (noun) (some things Google found for "talis": a common term; a UK based company using Semantic Web technologies that has library management software; Talis Advisory Services LLC is a Texas-based Investment Advisor; Talis Group offers staffing services in Kentucky; k. talis jewelry; a first name that can me masculine or feminine; Talis Real Estate Group of San Francisco Bay Area; Talis Haftetiketten GmbH sells self-adhesive labels; a last name that can be British; means "such, of such a kind" in Latin; name of cities in Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Greece)

My previous Lhaesine word for "flower" was "talise". I'm dropping the final "e", which is silent, but this alters the pronunciation of the word. This change is like dropping the final "e" off the word "kite" and getting "kit".

mountain is reihas (revisited)

reihas = mountain (Lhaesine pronunciation = REE-hahs) (noun) (some things Google found for "reihas": a rare term; a character name; an unusual last name; user name; may mean something in Lithuanian; several odd misspellings of "REI has" which refer to outdoor gear company REI)

My previous Lhaesine word for "mountain" was "riyase". I've revised this word multiple times, but not recently. Maybe this time the word will stick.

This word has been revised. The Lhaesine word for "mountain" is now "rihas". This posting is no longer current.

shiny is arona

arona = shiny (Lhaesine pronunciation = ah-RAW-nuh) (adjective) (some things Google found for "arona": a very common term; a last name, notably Brazilian martial arts fighter Ricardo Arona; a city on Lake Maggiore in northern Italy; a city in Pennsylvania; a city on Tenerife in the Canary Islands; a feminine first name; means "sun" in Indonesian; places in Alabama, Peru, and Papua New Guinea)

road is soha (revisited)

My previous Lhaesine word for "road" was "sohage". This is a shortening of the original word to somethig simiplier and easier to pronounce.

This word has been revised, again. The word for "road" is now "soaha". This posting is no longer current.

hole is daora

daora = hole (Lhaesine pronunciation = DOW-ruh) (noun) (some things Google found for "daora": an uncommon term; a places in Bangladesh and Western Sahara; Daora Sushi is a restaurant in the Boston, Massachusetts area; Kushala Daora is a tough monster on Playstation's Monster Hunter; a last name; user names; "The Gates of Daora" is the title of fantasy book which is likely unpublished)

This word was inspired by a word (daura) that I created for but didn't end up using in my other conlang, Miresua.

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.

This word has been revised. The Lhaesine word for "six" is now "iler". This posting is no longer current.

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.

hacal = thick (Lhaesine pronunciation = HAH-kahl) (adjective) (some things Google found for "hacal": an uncommon term; Hacal Investment is a company in Poland; Hacal Kiik is a bakery restaurant in Ambergris Caye in Belize, which means "my sister's place" in Mayan; Hacal Todaro is a place in Eritrea; a last name; Hacal Obası may be a Turkish musician or song)
