# kutsua
## Finnish
### Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *kuccudak, from earlier *kućću-; akin to the Samic verb reflected in e.g. Northern Sami goččut. Contains the reflexive suffix -u-. The root is probably borrowed from Baltic (compare Lithuanian kviesti (“to call, to sue, to ask”), from earlier *kvaitja-). Alternatively, it may be of Germanic origin (compare Old Norse kveðja (“to greet, to call upon, to demand”)). Uralic inheritance has also been suggested, in light of Eastern Khanty [script needed] (kut́-), Northern Khanty [script needed] (χuś-, “to teach, to tempt”) (suggesting a Proto-Uralic verb *kuććɜ-), for which an alternative etymology is however known as well.
