Word derivation for "faith (belief)":
Basque = fede, Finnish = usko
Miresua = deko
This Miresua word uses the letters at the ends of the Basque and the Finnish words. I didn't care to deal with the F from the Basque word. In Miresua I don't allow the letter F, although I can transliterate F to V. I decided to start the word with D, because I don't have many Miresua words that begin with D.
The Basque word appears to be derived from Latin. In Latin faith is fides.

Word derivation for "warm":
Basque = epel, Finnish = lämmin

My previous Miresua conlang word for "warm" was "lemel". I didn't like that it took a L from each the Basque word and the Finnish word. I made the new word shorter. There are plenty of 5-letter words in Miresua, I can always use more 4-letter words.
The word graphic is slighty different, less shadowing. The logo package I usually use still isn't working for the letter A with an umlaut.
Update - replaced word graphic with one from logo package.

Word derivation for "pretty" :
