Reconstruction:Proto-Finnic/kaski

Etymology
Proposed to derive from a derivative of the Indo-European root similar to 🇨🇬.

The Estonian and Votic reflexes show a shift to a meaning 'birch', for which a likely intermediate is reflected in a dialectal Finnish meaning (Southwestern and Far Northern) 'young birch, birch shoots'. These have been earlier compared with the Permic words for 'birch' (Komi, Udmurt , from Proto-Uralic ), but this has several phonetic difficulties.

Has also been compared to 🇨🇬.
