Пинега

Etymology
[edit]First attested in c. 1120‒1150. From early *Пиньига (*Pinĭiga), from *Pinьjьga < *Pӗnьjьga < *Pēni-juga. Borrowed from Finnic languages, ultimately from Proto-Finnic *peeni (“little, small”) of unknown origin + *juka (“small river; waterfall”), from Proto-Finno-Ugric *juka, a variant of Proto-Uralic *joke (“river”). Literally, “small river”.[1] Compare Old East Slavic Пинега (Pinega), Russian Пи́нега (Pínega).
