Re: A funny comparison with Finnish and Eruanno's language

Let's see how similar it is to Swedish.

Tero wrote (and Eruanno before him):

> Mikke could be used to shorten Mikael, a male first name.
Same in Swedish, though spelt Micke.

> >Pres.:  Tulta                     Tultar
Means "to toddle", or "little girl" in Sw.

> >Imp.:  Min Tulta
Means "My little girl" in Sw.

> >superlated roots: HEST
"horse" if spelt "häst". It should be spelt "hest" though
if it'd be spelt according to its etymology.

> >Huuva:           HUV or HUUV
"huva" means 'hood'.

> >Anna:            ANN
> Anna is one of the most popular female first names. (As everywhere...)
Same in Sw. of course.

> >Parma:           PARM or PAM
We have it in "parmaskinka" 'ham from Parma'. ;-)

> >Vardar:          VARD or VARDA or VAD
Old word for "becomes" in Sw.

> >Varna:           VARN or VAN
"to warn".

> >Inta:            INT
"take in, occupy".

> >Henna:           HENN or HEN
"henna"

> >Kenna:           KENN or KEN
"know, feel" in Sw. if spelt "känna". "Kenna" though is
the proper etymological form.

> >Fiira:           FIIR
"Fira" [fi:ra] means 'celebrate'

> >Enka:            ENK
"änka" means 'widdow'. Also originally spelt "enka" though.

> >Janna:           JANN or JAN
Sw. girl's name.

> >Hotha:           HOTH or HOTT
"hota" is "threaten".

> >Finna:           FINN or FIN
"to find, discover"

> >Dolda:           DOLD
"hidden".

> >Tinka:           TINK or TINIK
Baby-talk for "to pee, to wee".

Are you sure Eruanno's conlang isn't very inspired by Swedish
as well? :-)
