Northern Sami language
Beaska is a coat made of reindeer fur used by the Sami people, particularly in Torne. In Gällivare "beaska" means thicker fur and is mainly used by the richer people. In Northern Sami language it could also mean "newer fur" as it was of young reindeer calves, which are themselves called "peschki" in some dialects. The Norwegian word for fur is pesk, which comes from "päsket"- to cut. The Sami people also use the word "muoddá" (In Swedish: "mudd").
