tunturi ja tundra samaa sukua

Kysymys: Mikä on sanan tunturi alkuperä?

Vastaus: Tunturi kuuluu niihin pohjoissuomalaista maastoa kuvaaviin sanoihin, jotka on lainattu suomen kieleen saamelaiskielistä. Sana on omaksuttu ensin peräpohjalaismurteisiin, joista se on kirjallisuuden levittämänä päätynyt myös yleiskieleen.

Saamelaiskielissä lainalähtökohtaa edustavat nykyisin esimerkiksi pohjoissaamen duottar ’tunturi, tunturialue’ ja inarinsaamen tuodâr ’tunturi’. Nämä puolestaan kuuluvat etymologisesti yhteen suomen tanner-sanan kanssa.

Saamelaiskielten sana on levittäytynyt toista kautta laajemmaltikin maailmalle: siitä, lähinnä itäsaamelaisesta kildininsaamesta, on saatu venäjän kieleen pohjoista puutonta kasvillisuusaluetta tarkoittava tundra. Sanasta tundra on esimerkiksi ruotsin- ja englanninkielisessä kirjallisuudessa mainintoja 1800-luvun puolimaista lähtien. Suomessa ensimmäiset kirjalliset merkinnät tundrasta ovat jo varhemmin, 1770-luvulta.

Vyö

From Proto-Finnic *vöö

->

Lahko

From an obsolete sense of the word, which means a combine of peasants who jointly own a resource, such as a pasture, workhorse or mill. Now similar combines are organized as osuuskunta (“cooperative”).

The ultimate origin is disputed; it could be a loan from Old Swedish lagh (compare Swedish lag (“a workgroup, a team”)) or related to Estonian lahk, Livonian lō’gõ, Veps lahk, Votic lahk, suggesting Proto-Finnic *lahko, probably borrowed either from Proto-Germanic *slagiz or Proto-Germanic *slahō.
