lahti: difference between revisions

 

===Etymology 1===

{{etymid|fi|bay}}

From {{inh|fi|urj-fin-pro|*lakci}} (compare {{cog|krl|laksi}}, {{cog|vep|laht}}, {{cog|et|laht}}, {{cog|vot|lahti}}, {{cog|se|luokta}}), borrowed from {{der|fi|bat-pro|<!-- *lankti- -->}} (compare {{cog|lt|lanktis||arc}}).<ref>{{R:Hakkinen 2004}}</ref> {{m|fi||-ht-}} in the nominative is by analogy with the oblique case forms; the expected form {{m|fi|laksi}} (compare the declension of {{m|fi|kaksi}}) has fallen out of usage in the standard language, but survives in Swedish-language toponyms in Finland (as {{m|sv||-lax}}) and some dialects, primarily some Karelian dialects.
