mother

emaj : mother

The Tarijan word for mother is emaj.

EMAJ is an acronym for Euro-Mediterranean Academy for Young Journalists.

How I came up with this word:
Emaj is a mixture of the transliterated word for mother in Mongolian which is eej (ma or mamma)(ээж), and the transliterated word for mother in Russian which is mat' (мать).

In my other conlangs:
The Miresua word for mother is ima.
The Lhaesine word for mother is roawa.
