Compound of jalo (“noble, i.e., king of the beasts”) + peura (“deer; in a primitive sense, any beast of the forest”); one of the many words first known to have been written down by Mikael Agricola when translating the New Testament into Finnish in the 16th century.
jalopeura (archaic)
Often used together with the epithet kiljuva, as it appeared in the Finnish Bible up to the 1938 translation.
