Äteritsiputeritsipuolilautatsijänkä

Finnish

Etymology

According to Valtonen (2023), can be decomposed as Äteri=tsi|puteri=tsi|puoli|lauta=tsi|jänkä, from various Sami parts (< *adderidži pjedaridži puoꞷᵉli + -lauta=tsi- + jänkä):

• *adderidži: possibly from a Samic given name (compare Skolt Sami Oʹnddri) that is cognate with Antero (<< Latin Andreas); the ending is either a Samic diminutive ending or possibly from a Slavic patronymic suffix
• *pjedaridži: possibly from a Samic given name that is cognate with Pietari (<< Ancient Greek Πέτρος (Pétros)), same ending as above
• *puoꞷᵉli: possibly from a Samic given name (compare Skolt Sami Paavvâl) that is cognate with Paavali (<< Latin Paulus); the variant would have had a vowel *-uo-, which is not attested
• -lauta=tsi-: akin to Inari Sami láávtáš (meaning niliaitta; the word is cognate with lautta, not lauta)

thus possibly "The bog on which the storage hut standing on a single pillar and belonging to 'Paul', the son of 'Peter', the son of 'Andrew', stands/stood on".
