torvi
Finnish
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 Estonian tõri, Karelian torvi, Veps torv), from earlier *towri, borrowed from Proto-Baltic [Term?] (compare Latvian taure (“bugle”)), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *táwros. In Baltic-Finnic a metathesis *wr > *rw (> *rv) has occurred (compare järvi, karva).
