Proto-Finnic
Etymology
Unknown:
- Possibly an irregular reflex of Proto-Uralic *towe (“lake”), from which the shape **too would be predicted. The development *t > *s could have been motivated by avoidance of homonymy with the pronoun *too; but compare also *sulka (“feather”) < Proto-Uralic *tulka.
- Alternatively possibly an early borrowing from Pre-Germanic *soygw-ó-/*soygw-í-.
- The word could be in some relationship to Proto-Samic *suońō (“swamp”), yet here the contraction to a monosyllable would be irregular.
Noun
*soo
- swamp, marsh, bog
