In some way fromProto-Finno-Permic*počaw, probably borrowed fromProto-Indo-Iranian*páću, fromProto-Indo-European*peḱu-(“cattle”). The regular inherited form would have been in**poto <Proto-Finnic**poto. Koivulehto (2007) suggests thatr in place of expectedt has developed by generalization from an old Northwestern dialect form*podoi, and the word was later loaned back to the more southern and eastern dialects.^[1] Kuokkala (2018) instead posits that the Finnic words could be borrowed from Samic, where the-r- would substitute for the affricate in the Sami etymon.^[2]
