Word derivation for "knife" :
Basque = aizto, Finnish = veitsi
Miresua = veizto
My previous Miresua conlang word for knife was vezti. I tweaked the word to have a two-letter vowel combination, to better resemble the Basque and Finnish source words.
The word knife appears three times in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
