# runsas
## Finnish
### Etymology

Unknown. Relationship to Old High German runsa (“running water, stream”) has been proposed, but this is semantically distant, especially considering Karelian runšaš (North Karelian), Livvi ruznaz (“sturdy, hefty”) and Ludian ruznaz (“sturdy, hefty”). Given that -sn- has a wider distribution, *rusnas is probably original, and a similar metathesis as with känsä took place in Finnish.

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /ˈrunsɑs/, [ˈruns̠ɑ̝s̠]
* Rhymes: -unsɑs
* Hyphenation: run‧sas

### Adjective

runsas (comparative runsaampi, superlative runsain)
* abundant, plentiful
* sizable, hefty, significant
* (with a number, sometimes in the plural) just over
    Synonyms: reilu, vähän yli, hieman yli
    Antonym: vajaa
* (mathematics, of a number) abundant (less than the sum of all of its divisors except itself)

#### Usage notes

* (abundant): It is more common to say olla runsaasti than olla runsas.
    Työpaikkoja on runsaasti. ― There are plenty of open (job) positions.
    Viljatuotteissa on runsaasti hiilihydraatteja. ― Cereal products are abundant in carbohydrates.
