kupla
Finnish
Etymology
From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 229: Parameter 2 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "fiu-fin-pro" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E., probably from Proto-Finno-Ugric *kupla. Related to Estonian kubel, Karelian kupla, Livvi kubl and probably Inari Sami koble (“roe pouch”), Mari and Mansi, possibly also Hungarian hólyag (“bladder”).
