perhe
Finnish
Etymology
From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 291: 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.. Believed to come from the same Proto-Uralic root as perä (“rear”), referring to the background of a person, compare alkuperä (“origin”), peräisin (“originating from”). First written appearance is from 1548 in the Finnish version of Sweden's maanlaki (“law of the country”) translated by a cleric known as Herra Martti.
Cognate with Karelian pereh, Estonian pere, Võro pereh, Veps pereh, Livonian perē.
