I'd rather stay with _ten~errari_ 'to thank', _ten~erru_ '(I) thank (you)' AND
'thanks (n.)' that gives then _felari ten~errus_ 'to make thanks', and
_jugristu_ as a free (and maybe more elevated) synonym to _ten~erru_. I, Yitzik,
would use _jugristu_ by default, though I'm not a Byz.Orthodox; don't ask me
why...
