Possibly derived from the root *tajë-, whence also Finnish taipua (“to bend; to change; to be possible”), but the semantics make this unlikely; Finnish taju is probably derived from *taitadak rather than both from a common root. This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
Note: The Proto-Finnic conjugation system is yet to be reconstructed in detail. What is presented here is only one possibility. | ||||
