mozea = sweet (adjective) (some things Google found for "mozea": an uncommon term; a last name; user names; Mozea Akiba is a museum in Mahajanga, Madagascar; Mozea Ltd is a business in Glasgow, UK; apparently means something in Macedonian)
Word derivation for "sweet" (taste):
Basque = gozo, Finnish = makea
Miresua = mozea
I decided to allow the EA vowel combination in Miresua because it appears in Finnish and in some Basque words. It won't be a diphthong, but instead two vowels with a syllable boundary.
This Miresua conlang word was briefly changed to moze. The word for sweet is now mozea again.
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.
