north

sevod : north

The Tarijan word for north is sevod.

How I came up with this word:
Sevod is a mixture of the transliterated word for north in Russian which is sever (or syevir) (Север), and the transliterated word for north in Mongolian which is khoid (хойд).

There is another Mongolian word for north, umard (умард).

In my other conlangs:
The Miresua word for north is pihor.
The Lhaesine word for north is erden.
