Reconstruction:Proto-Finnic/pästäk

Etymology
. Possibly borrowed from or  (stem ), both requiring the long  to be original. According to Koivulehto & Kallio (2023), a long vowel may be primary in  and a short vowel in  (compare  ~ ), with analogous levelling in both directions; a competing Slavic etymology (< ) is also mentioned. Has also sometimes been considered to be derived from, but the suffix that would have been used for derivation is not entirely clear.
