lahko
Finnish edit
Etymology edit
From an obsolete sense of the word, which means a combine of peasants who jointly own a resource, such as a pasture, workhorse or mill. Now similar combines are organized as osuuskunta (“cooperative”).
The ultimate origin is disputed; it could be a loan from Old Swedish lagh (compare Swedish lag (“a workgroup, a team”)) or related to Estonian lahk, Livonian lō’gõ, Veps lahk, Votic lahk, suggesting Proto-Finnic *lahko, probably borrowed either from Proto-Germanic *slagiz or Proto-Germanic *slahō.
