Finnish
Etymology
From Latin sēpia.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈseːpiɑ/, [ˈs̠e̞ːpiɑ̝]
- Rhymes: -eːpiɑ
- Syllabification(key): see‧pi‧a
- Hyphenation(key): see‧pia
Noun
seepia
- cuttlefish, inkfish (marine mollusk of the order Sepiida)
- sepia (slightly reddish, dark brown pigment made from the secretions, the "ink", of the cuttlefish or a synthetic pigment of the same colour)
- sepia (colour of that pigment)
Usage notes
"Inkfish" usually denotes "cuttlefish" in English, whereas its Finnish calque mustekala refers to any animal in the subclass Coleoidea, within which the Sepiida are an order. These terms are thus false friends.
