silava

== Finnish == === Etymology === Uncertain. Has no cognates in the other Finnic languages, but the variant silevä was found in some dialects. Possibly from Proto-Uralic *śilä (“fat”) (compare Central Mansi [script needed] (šilt), Nganasan [script needed] (séla)), although this is not entirely regular. Alternatively, the word might be derived from the same root as sileä. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈsilɑʋɑ/, [ˈs̠ilɑ̝ʋɑ̝] Rhymes: -ilɑʋɑ Syllabification(key): si‧la‧va Hyphenation(key): si‧la‧va === Noun === silava lard, back fat, bacon fat (subcutaneous pork fat) fatty pork, bacon ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== See also ==== ihra tali === References === === Further reading === “silava”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 3 July 2023 === Anagrams === salvia, slaavi
