Proto-Finnic

Etymology

Uncertain. Possibly inherited from Proto-Uralic *luča (whence Proto-Samoyedic *jəcə), in which case Proto-Samic *lotē (“wedge”) must be a loan from Finnic. Alternatively, according to Aikio (2019), both Finnic and Samic words are borrowings from Proto-Germanic *slutą (whence English slot).[1]

Noun

*luta[2]

  1. twig used to hold together an object (e.g. birchbark container)
  2. tool for removing birchbark
