Etymology
From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: 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. (compare Karelian malja, Ludian mall', Veps mal), possibly borrowed from Proto-Norse [script needed] (*mālia-) (compare Old Norse mǽlir).
