pretty is seipo (revisited)

seiposeipo = pretty (adjective) (some things Google found for "seipo": an uncommon term; SEIPO is an acronym for Southeast Idaho Paranormal Organization; Seipo Corporation is a service company providing outsourcing to China; Seipo s.r.l. is an Italian office chair manufacturer; an unusual last name; user names)

Word derivation for "pretty" :
Basque = polit, Finnish = sievä
Miresua = seipo

My previous Miresua conlang word for "pretty" was "sovil", which was similar to my word for "sapphire" which is "sovari". Since the Finnish word has a vowel combination, I decided to use one in my Miresua word. Using the P and O from the Basque word makes this word different.
