arkila = fish (noun) (some things Google found for "arkila": an uncommon term; a rare first name that can be feminine; user names; a rare last name that can be Finnish; in Tagalog and Pampangan (or Kapampangan) which are languages of the Philippines arkila means rent, hire)
Word derivation for "fish"
Basque = arrain, Finnish = kala
Miresua = arkila
My previous Miresua word for fish was nalar, a mix that didn't resemble the word for fish in either Basque or Finnish. I decided to redo this word.
This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for fish is now arkil.
Miresua is an imaginary, artificial, constructed language; a conlang. These words are not randomly generated. Miresua is an eclectic alphabetic mix of Basque and Finnish, two unrelated European languages.

bridge is zilba (revisited)
zilba = bridge (noun) (some things Google found for "zilba": an uncommon term; an uncommon last name notably of recording artist and Miss Ohio 1987 Mary Zilba; user names; a rare masculine first name notably of Seattle pioneer Zilba Miles)
Word derivation for "bridge"
Basque = zubi, Finnish = silta
Miresua = zilba
My previous Miresua word for bridge was subla. That word that didn't use the common vowel of i, so I decided to change it. I think my new word is a better alphabetic mix of the Basque and Finnish words.
This Miresua conlang word has been changed. The word for bridge is now silbi.

By the way, the word for ice in Lhaesine, my other conlang, is ufa.

The Basque and the Finnish words for heaven also translate as sky. So my word will also mean sky. This word replaces my previous Miresua word for "sky" which was "taze".

sin is bynati
bynati = sin (noun) (some things Google found for "bynati": an rare term; user names; may mean something in Turkish or to people in Turkey)Word derivation for "sin"
Basque = bekatu, Finnish = synti

prayer is osturi
osturi = prayer (noun) (some things Google found for "osturi"; a rare term; a tribe and a type of rug from Iran, from near a town named Ostur (also known as Estur); a rare last name; possibly a name in India; similar word "nosturi" means "crane" in Finnish)Word derivation for "prayer"
Basque = otoitz, Finnish = rukous
Miresua = osturi
I usually chose to end my Miresua word in consonant when both the Basque and the Finnish words end in a consonant. This word is an exception to that unwritten rule. Perhaps I should have ended this word in Z or S, but I liked the look of this particular combination of letters.
