Etymology
From earlier *tika, as a part of the old layer of agricultural terminology in the more western Uralic languages whose origin remains. Generally considered to be related at least to the words for "pig" in the Mordvinic languages (🇨🇬, 🇨🇬), although the sound correspondences are not entirely regular. According to Koivulehto, the word might be a loanword from (whence ), but this remains uncertain due to the semantic difference (compare however ). Another possibility is an old borrowing from from the same word whence, in which case the word would be cognate with  and possibly Laconian.
