Reconstruction:Proto-Finnic/mattadak
Proto-Finnic
Etymology
Uncertain. Possibly cognate with Proto-Samic *muottētēk (“to snow”) (< *matta-), but this is uncertain due to the semantic difference. Alternatively, perhaps derived from *manta (“earth”) as *ma(n)t- + *-tadak (compare *kattadak < *kanci).
Verb
*mattadak (stem *matta-)
- to bury
- to cover
- Synonym: *peittädäk
