boy

makhü : boy

The Tarijan word for boy is makhü. Makhu is a rare last name.

International locations:
Makhu is a town in the Indian state of Punjab.

How I came up with this word:
Makhü is a mixture of the transliterated word for boy in Russian which is mal’chik (мальчик), and the transliterated word for boy (also son) in Mongolian which is khüü (хүү).

In my other conlangs:
The Miresua word for boy is mikal.
The Lhaesine word for boy is nern.

Note: I've also changed the word for girl, my previous word, from ochan to odina.
