"kontija" meaning in Proto-Finnic

See kontija in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Several possible origins have been proposed, including: # A loan from a Sami language; compare Proto-Samic *kuomčë (“bear”), which could itself be a substrate word. The sound substition *č → *ti would be unusual, but has a small number of parallels. # *kontidak + *-ja, a taboo formation meaning "the slow walker". Aikio (2009) argues that given the exact semantic match, the first explanation should be preferred. A large number of additional hypotheses have been explored by Oksanen (2007).

The sound substition *č → *ti would be unusual, but has a small number of parallels.\n# *kontidak + *-ja, a taboo formation meaning \"the slow walker\".\nAikio (2009) argues that given the exact semantic match, the first explanation should be preferred.\nA large number of additional hypotheses have been explored by Oksanen (2007).",
