Word derivation for "sapphire" :
Basque = zafiro, Finnish = safiiri
Miresua = sovari
My previous Miresua word for "sapphire" was "sovira". This is a small change to make this word less like the Miresua word for "pretty" which is "sovil", and to end in "i" like my words for diamond and ruby.
Both the Basque word and the Finnish word contain a "f". It's likely that "sapphire" is a borrowed word in both languages. I modified the "f" to a "v" for Miresua.
