pövvy

Ingrian
Suel ono harmaa pövvy (1).
Revost tehty pövvy (2).

Etymology

According to Oja (2002), borrowed from Ludian pövü or Veps pövu, ultimately from the same source as Proto-Finnic *pëllavas.

There are, however, no other known loans from Veps or Ludic into Ingrian, which suggests a common (substratal) origin instead.
