I have no clue what language this is!

[Andrew Z Foreman]

There are a couple of words I stumbled onto a week back that I can't seem to find. They have been stuck in my head since, and I have no idea what language they might be from. I am inclined to believe that these words may "loosely" translate into something like "spring flower" in English. Any help in this endevor would be greatly appreciated. I tried Google translate and the only thing I could come up with was Estonian, but that was quite a stretch. The words are as follows, unfortunately, I don't have the correct spelling, but I believe that the pronunciation is correct. 

Ill-a-et su-ve 

the "a" should be pronounced hard, the "u" should be pronounced "oo", and the "e" is hard as well. Thank you!
