Even more words for colors

Here are the words for colors in Mariska's language of Miresua. This conlang is a odd mix of Basque and Finnish.

white = zulki
black = metza
red = girun
yellow = kohai
green = irebä
blue = usin
gray = aris
purple = tovire
brown = resima

colors in another made up language

In Mariska's language of Lhaesine, these are the words for colors:

white = saye
black = ferac
red = chur
yellow = acode
green = vaela
blue = rima
gray = liiga
purple = toiza
orange = hounar
brown = gufan
pink = besh

These words for colors seem be somewhat less confounding, less intimidating to pronounce.

colors from another distant land

Also on the index card that I mentioned in the previous post, there was list of Rhaiyathi colors. This is for the fantasy land east of Celsythir. I didn't remember making such as list, but it's definitely my handwriting.

white = yheir
black = halia
red = taser
yellow = rhael
green = khalit
blue = rliea
gray = mehar
purple = vuinde
orange = bairht

Most of these words for colors are a bit of a mouthful of letters. Since it was used in a story, red being called taser was no surpise to me.

colors from a distant land

When looking for key to a lockbox, I found an index card with a list of Celsy colors. As I remembered, my color words tended to rhyme. I don't think I would recommend doing that today.

white = fyarn
black = maln
red = tryan
yellow = cyan
green = rylon
blue = sarn
gray = alian
purple = goyn
orange = nyorn

Seems that I omitted a word for brown. Also, that's a mighty strange word for yellow, because cyan is a shade of blue.

those lines on the map

If you look closely at my pictures of the map you'll see lines of green. This detail from the previous photo below shows a point where 16 lines begin. This place on the continent of Nordinya is labeled as Aari-Tinhlan, but in my old notes I've also seen it called it Orytinlan. There is a magnificent tower here.

The green lines are straight and go in compass directions. Mountains, such as those shown here, do not stop them. The green lines, of course, are magical.

the continent of Nordinya

This section of the big map shows the continent of Nordinya. In the northern, or upper, area is the land of Celsythir...the land I orginally called Celsy. The region called Shydring is where this fantasy world started.

comments on the land of Moran

In the land of Moran they build ships out of twig trees? The Moranese people are friendly except to outsiders? You're limited to which clothing colors you can wear? Common fabric colors are probably hard to dye bright colors? Perhaps not the most logical ideas in hindsight.

I don't know where I imagined Moran would be, but I'm going to place it on the map to the northeast of the land of Celsythir, in the northern part of Tradlinya, around 50 degrees north latitude. I added to the shown section of the map new computerized text labels. (The text labels for Shayamorling and Morri-Mire are original to the map.)
