tappura
Finnish
editEtymology
editFrom Proto-Finnic *tappura. Possibly equivalent to tappaa + -ura, from dialectal use of tappaa to signify threshing of cotton or hemp.[1]
Pronunciation
editNoun
edittappura
- Tangled fibres of hemp or cotton, often with shives – waste fibres.
- Tukkasi on takussa kuin tappuraa.
- Your hair is tangled like waste fibres.
Usage notes
edit- Nowadays mostly used in the phrase tulta ja tappuraa (literally “fire and waste fibres”), which signifies something explosive; or figuratively something passionate, emotional or powerful. This expression probably originates from the easy flammability of the tangled, short waste fibres and shives.
- Also used in the translation of the Bible in the term orjantappurakruunu (“crown of thorns”) and for any of the several thorny shrubs (orjantappura).
