Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Sami/Finnic correspondences (2)/reply

I used "cognate" precisely because I didn't want to commit to anything either way. It means a word is from the same common origin, but that doesn't mean Finnic can't be that origin. I realise this may not be how the term is commonly understood, but how else do you say "from the same source" if not "cognate"?
