Proto-Finnic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Unknown. Possibly a substrate borrowing, from the same substrate as Proto-Germanic *aspō and Latvian apse.[1] The aforementioned words are sometimes considered to originate from Proto-Indo-European *Hosp-, but the term is highly areal. Alternatively, if the word is original in Indo-European, the Finnic term could be borrowed by metathesis (*ašpa > *šapa) from one of them, such as Proto-Germanic *aspō.
