cross is ruiste

ruiste = cross (noun) (some things Google found for "ruiste": an uncommon to rare term; House on the Mountain Ruiste is a hostel in Bosnia Herzegovina; In Old French possibly means rustic; a word in The Song of Roland; In Portuguese ruitse is a conjugation of the verb ruir meaning to collapse; name of a city in Montenegro)

Word derivation for "cross"
Basque = gurutze, Finnish = risti
Miresua = ruiste

Since the Finnish word begins with the letter R, I took the opportunity to begin my Miresua word with R. In Basque, there are no words that start with R, although there are plenty of words staring with ar-, er-, ir-, or- and ur-.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for cross is now ruzti.
