lahko

== Finnish == === Etymology === Partly from Proto-Finnic *lahko (compare Estonian lahk, Livonian lǭ’gõ, Veps lahk), borrowed either from Proto-Germanic *slagiz or Proto-Germanic *slahō. The original sense inherited from Finnic is “split log”, which is found only in some eastern Finnish dialects in the form laahko. Partly borrowed from Old Swedish lagh (compare Swedish lag (“a workgroup, a team”)); the meaning “combine (of peasants)” derives from the Old Swedish term. The remaining senses like “sect, cult” derive from a confluence of these two. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈlɑhko/, [ˈlɑ̝xko̞] Rhymes: -ɑhko Syllabification(key): lah‧ko Hyphenation(key): lah‧ko === Noun === lahko sect (offshoot of a larger religion sharing at least some unorthodox beliefs) cult (group of people with a sect-like religious identity but exploitative or regarded by outsiders as exploitative towards its members) Synonym: kultti (biology, taxonomy) order (dialectal, archaic) A combine of peasants who jointly own a resource, such as a pasture, workhorse or mill.
