Finnish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Finnic *otava, from Proto-Uralic *woča. Cognates include Karelian otava, Votic õtavõ, Ludian adam, Estonian odamus (dialectal), Erzya ош (oš, “city”).[1][2] The suffix, which dated back to Proto-Finnic, has not been explained.
The brown bear in Finnish actually became known as otava, which is assumed to stem from its resemblance to — and mythical origin from — the asterism Otava (“Big Dipper”).[3][4] The cartwheel meaning of the word might be related to the Scandinavian interpretation of the Big Dipper as "Charles's Wagon" (Swedish Karlavagnen, Norwegian Karlsvogna, Danish Karlsvognen).
