# mutta
## Finnish
### Etymology

From muu (“other”), either based on the abessive singular form (muutta, as if "without something else", "not to mention something else"), the partitive singular form (muuta: "something else"; the -uu- would have first been shortened and the final vowel elided, thus mut(t) with reanalysis as mutta) or (rejected by SKRK) from the -tta suffix indicating adverbs of manner ("regarding something else"). Compare Ingrian mut, Karelian muuta.
