Reconstruction:Proto-Finnic/roocci

This Proto-Finnic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Finnic

Etymology

Borrowed from Old East Norse *roþs- (possibly as part of the word *rōþskarl, *rōþs­män (“rower”)), from Old Norse róðr, from Proto-Germanic *rōþrą. The name is related to the name of Roden (Roslagen), a region in eastern Sweden.

Reconstruction

This term is not traditionally reconstructed to Proto-Finnic, as most traditional chronologies date Proto-Finnic to be older than this word (from the eighth-ninth century AD). According to Kallio (2014) however, this word is at least Common Finnic, being among some of the final words common between all Finnic languages.[1]

Noun

*roocci

  1. (Common Finnic) person from the coast of Roden or Roþrin, later more generally Swede
