цеассан

Kildin Sami

Etymology

Borrowed from Russian часо́вня (časóvnja). Compare Skolt Sami ceessan.

  • The initial /t͡sʲ/ points out that the word was borrowed from Pomor or some kind of a Northern Russian dialect, there the ts–ch merger has occured.
  • It is noteworthy that the historical diphthong /e̯a/ is preserved in writing, while in other cases, it is consistently written as я̄/а̄ due to its monophthongization in most modern speakers.
