Miresua is an eclectic alphabetic combination of Basque and Finnish and follows a different set of rules. Not all words intended for Miresua can be used in Lhaesine. For instance, the word I ended up using for linen in Miresua, avari, would not be allowed in Lhaesine because it contains a "v" and ends in "i".
