My previous Miresua word for foot was noja.

Seems apt: Jainism is from Sanskrit jina, or "overcomer", and in Hindi jaanaa is a common word meaning "to go", jaan meaning "life". Strangely, it seems Jaana is a Finnish name short for Marjaana, which in Hindi means "to die, go through death". "To go (away)" has some of these connotations.
I'm glad you think jain is an apt word for foot. The Hindi meanings are quite interesting.
Jain is alphabetic mix of letters taken from the Basque and Finnish words for foot.
