Ring, in my words

faidu : ring

The Fennas word for ring is faidu. Faidu is a island in Maldives.

How did I come up with this word? The Welsh word for ring is modrwy; the Irish word for ring is fáinne; and the Breton word for ring is bizou.

I believe the words I found for ring in Welsh, Irish, and Breton are valid, but the words are not at all similar.
