nauris
Appearance
See also: Nauris
Finnish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Finnic *nakris, compare Estonian naeris, Karelian nakris. This may be compared to an Ob-Ugric word *nëëɣər (“pine nut”), in which case their common origin would be Proto-Finno-Ugric *nëkrV-, but this is questionable due to the difference in meaning and as the consonant cluster *kr is of a shape usually occurring only in loanwords (compare kaura). However, no loan origin has been identified.
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]nauris
- turnip (white root of a yellow-flowered plant, Brassica rapa subsp. rapa, grown as a vegetable)
- 1800-luvulla peruna syrjäytti nauriin Suomen tärkeimpänä juureksena.
- In the 19th century, the potato replaced the turnip as the most important root vegetable in Finland.
Usage notes
[edit]- Those varieties that are grown for fodder are called turnipsi or rehunauris in Finnish.
