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.

holy is sytä
sytä = holy (adjective) (some things Google found for syta or sytä: an uncommon term; Syta is an unusual last name; SYTA is an acronym for Student and Youth Travel Association; In Polish syta is a form of the adjective syty meaning satiated, full)
Word derivation for "holy"

The Basque word appears to be based on Latin. The word graphic looks a little different because I didn't use the graphic package that I usually use because of the problemsome ä (a umlaut).
Update - the graphic package works again. I replaced word graphic.
