missa-pytuna

Literally, “Mass night”.

The first part is an unadapted borrowing from Portuguese missa. A proper adaptation would result in *mixá, following the same rules seen in kamixá: palatalization of /s/ into /ʃ/ after /i/ and change of stress from a paroxytone to an oxytone, as no stems could end in ⟨s⟩ or ⟨x⟩.
