Finnish
Etymology
vuo + -ma; the loss of v- may represent an archaism, or it may, as Kallio (2007) suggests, instead be a sign that the word was borrowed from Sami (such as Early Proto-Samic *ōm̀ã, later *vuomē, compare Northern Sami vuopmi).[1]
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈuo̯mɑ/, [ˈuo̞̯mɑ̝]
- Rhymes: -uomɑ
- Syllabification(key): uo‧ma
- Hyphenation(key): uo‧ma
Noun
uoma
- riverbed, channel, streambed
- (figuratively) normal state of affairs (used primarily in the expression asettua uomiinsa (“to settle down into normal state”))
Kun pääsee alun ohitse, kaikki tasaantuu, asettuu uomiinsa.- When one gets past the initial phase, everything will get smooth, settle down.
