kaksinen

kaksi +‎ -inen. Originally used for classification of fields for a land reform ("isojako", Swedish: "storskiftet"): a kaksinen field gave two seeds crop for one seed planted, thus it was not very good. A field that was not even "kaksinen" was indeed not good. "Ei kovin kaksinen" (not very kaksinen), the form usually used, is a field that is barely kaksinen, thus barely worth sowing.
