From earlier *šauki. Has been considered a borrowing from early Proto-Slavic *ščaukā (from which late Proto-Slavic *ščuka),[1] but now this is considered untenable for phonetic reasons, and the Finnic and Slavic words might instead have a common substrate origin.[2]
*hauki[3]
The descendants disagree on the inflection. Estonian, Votic, North Karelian, Livvi, and Ludian have an i-stem paradigm, while the remaining ones an e-stem.
Note: The Proto-Finnic declension system is yet to be reconstructed in detail. What is presented here is only one possibility. | |||
