Latin confusion

[claudia castellani]

I only know that the two salutation formulas were: Ultreya for those
pilgrims who were going to Santiago, and Suseya for those who were coming
back.
I really don't know the exact meaning nor the origin of the two words, but I
don't think the word Suseya has anything to do with Jesus or Esus.
