rapu(“crayfish, crab”) +‎voi(“butter”)

• IPA^(key): /ˈrɑpuˌʋoi̯/,[ˈrɑ̝puˌʋo̞i̯]
• Rhymes:-oi
• Hyphenation^(key):rapu‧voi

rapuvoi

1. crab butter(greasy yellow-to-white jelly-like substance that accumulates on the inside of the shell of a crayfish or a crab)
2. tomalley, alsocrab butter(hepatopancreas of a crayfish when consumed as food, considered as delicacy by many, especially in Sweden and coastal Finland)
3. Butter flavored bysimmering it with crayfish shells, used e.g. as base for soups.

The second sense ("hepatopancreas") may be considered erroneous, as there's a separate Finnish termmaksahaima for it. The error derives from Swedish, as this part of the crayfish is often calledkräftsmör in Swedish, which translates directly torapuvoi. See also Swedish Wikipedia onKräftsmör.
