Proto-Finnic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Unclear. The word been compared to Proto-Germanic *sukka- (“noise, disturbance”) on one hand, and Komi чыкны (ćykny, “to lose”), Udmurt чыкйыны (ćykjyny, “to be soiled”) on the other. Both comparisons would require an earlier form *šukka (in the latter case in turn from earlier *čukka).
The word has later developed a tabooistic meaning "wolf" in Ludic, Livvi, Karelian and eastern dialects of Finnish, largely replacing *suci.
