Proto-Finnic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From earlier *šauki. Has been considered a borrowing from early Proto-Slavic *ščaukā (from which late Proto-Slavic *ščuka),[1] but now this is considered untenable for phonetic reasons, and the Finnic and Slavic words might instead have a common substrate origin.[2]

Noun

[edit]

*hauki[3]

  1. pike (fish)

Inflection

[edit]

The descendants disagree on the inflection. Estonian, Votic, North Karelian, Livvi, Ludian, and some dialects of Finnish have an i-stem paradigm, while the remaining ones an e-stem.
