[Bara en kapibara]

Ikäviä epätarkkuuksia tossa, niiku että se punanen ois saatu madoista eikä kermeskirvoista

(toki niitä kutsuttiin madoiksi silloin mutta ei se niistä matoja tee, niiku mustekalakaa ei oo kala)

vanha

From Proto-Finnic *vanha, from Proto-Finno-Permic *wanša. Cognate with Proto-Permic *wanša (whence Komi-Zyrian важ (važ) and Udmurt вуж (vuž)). In the past was also considered a possible borrowing from Proto-Germanic *wanhaz, *wanhą (“crooked, bent, bad”), but this is unlikely.

liitto

liittää +‎ -o

->

liki- +‎ -ittää (the cases of liki- serve in Finnish only as adverbs.)

->

From Proto-Finnic *liki, from Proto-Finno-Permic *like. Cognates include Estonian ligi, Ingrian liki, Votic litši and Northern Sami lahka.

pony

1659 from Scots powny, apparently from Middle French poulenet (“little foal”), ultimately from Late Latin pullanus (“young of an animal”), from pullus (cognate to English foal). Sense “small serving of alcohol” from 19th century, both for small sizes generally and for a quarter pint specifically, from the small size.[1]


->

Disputed; two etymologies are plausible:

From Proto-Italic *polnos, from Proto-Indo-European *polH-on- (“animal young”); compare Ancient Greek πῶλος (pôlos), Proto-Germanic *fulô (“foal”), Albanian pelë (“mare”), Old Armenian ուլ (ul, “kid, fawn”);

From Proto-Indo-European *put-, also found in Latin putus (“boy”), Proto-Indo-Iranian *putrás (“boy”) and perhaps Sanskrit पोत (pota, “young animal”) (which would indicate *pewt-), Lithuanian putýtis (“young bird, young animal”). De Vaan reconstructs Proto-Italic *putslos, which he considers a variant of *putlos (“boy”). The presence of an earlier apical consonant in the stem in Latin is evidenced by the -s- in the diminutive adjective pusillus.[1] Some authors connect these to the root *peh₂w- (“small”) (compare Latin paucus, Old English fēaw (“little, few”)), but the morphology is unclear and the complete disappearance of the laryngeal is hard to explain.

ukko

From Proto-Finnic *ukko. Probably a Finnic pet form of uros (“man, male”).

uros

Disputed, but cognate with Proto-Samic *orēs. Traditionally held to be a derivation of Proto-Finno-Ugric *urɜ (whence Hungarian úr, but note that it also has an alternative etymology). LÄGLOS however supports an alternative etymology by Hofstra, which instead posits a borrowing from Proto-Germanic *ūraz (“aurochs”), in which case the original meaning must have been "male animal".

akka

From Proto-Finnic *akka. Northern Sami áhkku is possibly an old loan from Finnish, explaining the irregular correspondence of -a- to -á-.

->

Possible Wanderwort, compare Sanskrit अक्का (akkā, "mother (used contemptuously)"), Latin Acca Larentia ( goddess of fertility), Ancient Greek Ἀκκώ (Akkṓ), Chuvash акка (akka)


Said to be of onomatopoeic/nursery origin, but compare Latin Acca Larentia and Ancient Greek ἀγάλλω (agállō, “to adorn oneself, be vain or crazy”), used to describe women. Compare Marathi अक्का (akkā), Kannada ಅಕ್ಕ (akka), Malayalam അക്ക (akka), Telugu అక్క (akka), Tamil அக்கா (akkā), Sinhalese අක්‍කා (akkā).

truant

From Middle English truant, truand, trewande, trowant (= Middle Dutch trouwant, trawant, truwant), from Old French truand, truant (“a vagabond, beggar, rogue", also "beggarly, roguish”), of Celtic origin, perhaps from Gaulish *trugan, or from Breton truan (“wretched”), from Proto-Celtic *térh₁-tro-m, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *terh₁- ( to rub, turn, to drill, pierce).

Cognate with Scottish Gaelic truaghan, Irish trogha (“destitute”), trogán, Breton truc (“beggar”), Welsh tru.

ranch

Recorded since 1808, farm sense since 1831. From American Spanish rancho (“small farm, group of farm huts”), in Spanish originally “group of people who eat together”, from ranchear (“to lodge or station”), from Old French ranger (“install in position”), from rang (“row, line”) (cognate with English rank)

[pigra senlaborulo]

outrage

c. 1300, "evil deed, offense, crime; affront, indignity, act not within established or reasonable limits," of food, drink, dress, speech, etc., from Old French outrage "harm, damage; insult; criminal behavior; presumption, insolence, overweening" (12c.), earlier oltrage (11c.), from Vulgar Latin *ultraticum "excess," from Latin ultra "beyond" (from suffixed form of PIE root *al- "beyond").

Etymologically, "the passing beyond reasonable bounds" in any sense; meaning narrowed in English toward violent excesses because of folk etymology from out + rage. Of injuries to feelings, principles, etc., from 1769.

From Late Latin compāniō (literally “he with whom one shares one's bread”), from com- + pānis (with + bread), first attested in the Frankish Lex Salica as a calque of a Germanic word, probably Frankish *gahlaibō (“messmate”, literally “with-bread”), from *hlaib (“loaf, bread”). Compare Gothic 𐌲𐌰𐌷𐌻𐌰𐌹𐌱𐌰 (gahlaiba, “messmate”) from 𐌲𐌰- (ga-, “with”) + 𐌷𐌻𐌰𐌹𐌱𐌰 (hlaiba, “bread”), Old High German galeipo from ga- (“with”) + leipo (“bread”).
