huppu

== Finnish == === Etymology === Unclear. Perhaps from huppa, huppo (“a type of hoodlike headwear; covering”) +‎ -u. Compare dialectal hupussa, umpihupussa (“covered”) and huppeluksissa (“under water”). Possibly derived through contamination with the words hukkua (“to drown”), uppo (“under water”) and upota (“to sink”). Cognate with Karelian huppu (“hood, covering”), though that may be a loan of the Finnish word. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈhupːu/, [ˈhupːu] Rhymes: -upːu Syllabification(key): hup‧pu Hyphenation(key): hup‧pu === Noun === huppu hood (covering for the head; protective cover) [from 18th c.] construction tarp (used to temporarily cover a building for construction during winter or cold weather) (slang) hoodie (foreskin) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== References ==== “huppu”, in Vanhan kirjasuomen sanakirja [Dictionary of Old Literary Finnish]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, incomplete, continuously updated), Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten keskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2021, →ISSN, retrieved 3 August 2024.
