I was waiting a bus when I smelled something burned,
which reminded me of my grand mother's house.
It was a small house made of wood.
A bathroom was separated from the main house.
There were a lot of knot holes on the wall of the bathroom.
My grandmother used to boil water for the bath by burning firewood.
Japanese
薪 "Maki"
Chinese
柴火 "柴" in Japanese means somewhat thinner firewood
Korean 장작
English
Firewood
Dutch
brandhout brand = fire, hout = wood
Africaans
vuurmaakhout vuur = fire, maak = make, hout = wood
German
Brennholz This looks like Dutch "brandhout".
French
bois de chauffage
bois = wood, chauffage = hot
Spanish
lena
Now, Maki (Japanse) + Lena (Spanish) = Makilena (Turkish)
although Makilena does not mean fire wood...
