finnic

The land was already settled by slavic and finnic tribes, whose experience of this is lost to us.

Swedish became the dominant language in some coastal areas, while the rest of present-day Finland spoke a variety of Finnic languages.

The Frnvallians were one of the three Finnic tribes that settled in the region of modern-day Finland and Russia during the Middle Ages.

And the same applies to other Finnic and Uralic peoples as well.

Eventually the norse and finnic groups had more or less fully assimilated with each other and into the local slavic population forming the rus'.

By contrast, this harms the West exclusively (Estonia is strongly pro-Western, and speaks a Finnic language), and if it were confirmed that the cable was attacked, the culprit is clear.

There was also a Russian Scientist promoting this theory based on frequency of Finnic haplo groups, but he soon learned better theory in Siberian Gulags.

Being fully precognizant of the scene at the Arctic circle (haha) I was going more from vague preintuitions writ Finnic riddles.

There were also Finnic nomads which manifested as Ungri turning Hungarians.

As far as I know the Baltic and Finnic pagans lacked a written language.

If you met a Finnic noondemon, you might be more likely to dismiss them than the Sphinx, or (aunt) Dasha, or the catcher in the rye.

Re boney quote, that's one heuristic for HN mods TIL Mozilla would have done better channelling the Finnic fennec (Vs rebranding "pinko").

> The version with "rowmen" is dominant though The Finnic Venäjä / Venemaa also has boating implications (vene = boat).

"Ilma" used to mean things like sky, heaven, air, and weather, but Finnic languages eventually started using the Indo-European loan "taivas" for the first two.

“Ingria” is a historical term, coming from a time several hundred years ago when the area was ruled by Sweden and populated mainly by Finnic and Baltic peoples.

Sami are part of the uralic people although they arrived to Fennoscandia some centuries before the Finnic.

Other nature words like järvi (= lake) which don't follow the pattern might be proto-Finnic but have come from neighbours (for järvi it is apparently from baltic/proto-slavic).

* sijati (to shine, to illuminate) Skauniz was even borrowed to Proto-Finnic and highly conserved in modern Finnish, Estonian, Ingrian, etc.
