I'll be sure to run every word through that, then.

You also reverted the etymology for laittaa, meaning "to put, set, place", because it "seems like nonsense", even though its Germanic counterpart has almost the exact same meaning. Algu lists three sources that say the word is borrowed from the Proto-Germanic lagjaną:

1. Heikkilä, Mikko 2011: Huomioita kantasaamen ajoittamisesta ja paikantamisesta sekä germaanisia etymologioita saamelais-suomalaisille sanoille

2. Kylstra, Hahmo et al. 1996: Lexikon der älteren germanischen Lehnwörter in den ostseefinnischen Sprachen

3. Itkonen, Ulonen et al. 1995: Suomen sanojen alkuperä 1-3 Etymologinen sanakirja

Why exactly does it seem like nonsense?
