cross is ruiste

ruiste = cross (noun) (some things Google found for "ruiste": an uncommon to rare term; House on the Mountain Ruiste is a hostel in Bosnia Herzegovina; In Old French possibly means rustic; a word in The Song of Roland; In Portuguese ruitse is a conjugation of the verb ruir meaning to collapse; name of a city in Montenegro)

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"
Basque = santu, Finnish = pyhä
Miresua = sytä

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.

bright is arkisu

arkisu = bright (adjective) (some things Google found for "arkisu": a rare term; user names; In Akkadian or Assyro-Babylonian "arkīšu" means "afterward"; In Assyrian "akisu" means "after him")

Word derivation for "bright" (bright, clear, luminous)
Basque = argitsu, Finnish = kirkas
Miresua = arkisu

In Basque -tsu is a suffix used to form adjectives.

handsome is komant

komant = handsome (adjective) (some things Google found for "komant": an uncommon to rare term; a last name, notably Miss Maine 1959 and TV actress Carolyn Komant and car art designer Murray Komant; user names)

Word derivation for "handsome":
Basque = galant, Finnish = komea
Miresua = komant

The Basque word may come from the French word galant, root of the English word gallant, but in Basque galant means good-looking.

faith is deko

deko = faith (noun) (some things Google found for "deko": a very common term; Avid Deko is a real-time graphic package for TV broadcasters; DEKO Tile is a company in California; Deko Lounge in New Jersey; a last name; Deko Boko Friends was an animated children's TV show; In the Star Wars Universe The Battle of Deko Neimoidia was fought during the Clone Wars; means "ten" in Esperanto; name of cities in Ethiopia, Mali, Ivory Coast, Central African Republic, and Congo)

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.

strong is vando

vando = strong (adjective) (some things Google found for "vando": an uncommon term; an unusual last name, notably poet Gloria Vando; user names; a first name; Vando Records was a short-lived (1970s?) R&B record label; means "wall" in Esperanto)

Word derivation for "strong (sturdy)":
Basque = sendo, Finnish = vahva
Miresua = vando

This Miresua word is an adjective. It means strong as in sturdy, as opposed to strong as in powerful. It's a nice coincidence that in Esperanto my word means wall, which is something sturdy.

strength is idoma

idoma = strength (noun) (some things Google found for "idoma": an uncommon term; The Idoma are an ethno-linguistic group of Nigeria; an unusual last name; a rare first name; name of a cities in Nigeria and The Congo)

Word derivation for "strength (force, power)":
Basque = indar, Finnish = voima
Miresua = idoma

This Miresua word is a noun, not an adjective. It's the root of the words for strong (powerful, potent) in Basque and Finnish.

beautiful is kerdis

kerdis = beautiful (adjective) (some things Google found for "kerdis": an uncommon to rare term; Kerdis Auto is a French car dealer in Yvre-l'Eveque, France; Kerdis S.L. is a flooring company in Castellon de la Plana, Spain; an unusaul last name; user names; Kerdis Ltd is a UK computer systems and software company)

Word derivation for "beautiful":
Basque = eder, Finnish = kaunis
Miresua = kerdis

This is a new Miresua word. I had a word for pretty, but not one for beautiful.

warm is ämel (revisited)

ämel = warm (adjective) (some things Google found for "amel"or "ämel": a very common term; Amel is a feminine first name; Amel is a last name; user names; Amel is a spirit in the novel Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice; Amel is the name of cities in Belgium and France)

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

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.

pretty is seipo (revisited)

seipo = pretty (adjective) (some things Google found for "seipo": an uncommon term; SEIPO is an acronym for Southeast Idaho Paranormal Organization; Seipo Corporation is a service company providing outsourcing to China; Seipo s.r.l. is an Italian office chair manufacturer; an unusual last name; user names)

Word derivation for "pretty" :
Basque = polit, Finnish = sievä
Miresua = seipo

My previous Miresua conlang word for "pretty" was "sovil", which was similar to my word for "sapphire" which is "sovari". Since the Finnish word has a vowel combination, I decided to use one in my Miresua word. Using the P and O from the Basque word makes this word different.

ugly is irutsa (revisited)

irutsa = ugly (adjective) (some things Google found for "irutsa": a rare term; some sort of East African tribal ceremony connected with married life; user names)

Word derivation for "ugly" :
Basque = itsusi, Finnish = ruma
Miresua = irutsa

My previous Miresua conlang word for "ugly" was "rutsa". I added the letter I, which there are two of in the Basque word. My change makes this word more unusual, hence less likely to be anyone's name. Also I get a 6-letter word, which is good. I tend to have too many 5-letter words.

My definition of "irutsa" as "ugly" in Miresua is not intended to be a comment on anyone or anything named irutsa. I mean no disrespect. I'm merely defining a adjective in my made-up conlang language, and even fantasy languages need some unflattering words.

ten is mykar (revisited)

mykar = ten (number) (adjective) (some things Google found for "mykar": an uncommon to rare term; Mykar is the name of a used car dealer in NSW, Australia; an unusual last name; an rare masculine first name; user names; a World of Warcraft character)

Word derivation for "ten"
Basque = hamar, Finnish = kymmenen
Miresua = mykar

My previous Miresua conlang word for ten was myknar. I dropped the N. That KN consonant combination was too odd. This makes my Miresua word less than average length of the Basque and the Finnish words, but that's okay. The Basque word for ten is also five letters long.

This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for ten is now hamen.
