yskä

== Finnish == === Etymology === Of uncertain origin; one theory states that the word stems from a dialectal yskä (“lap, chest”) (from Proto-Finnic *üskä), from which was derived yskäntauti (literally “chest illness”), from which yskä became to mean "cough" by ellipsis. Others believe that the word is onomatopoeic and imitates the sound of coughing. Formerly it was believed to be a Germanic loan of the same origin as usko, but this theory has been discarded. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈyskæ/, [ˈys̠k̟æ] Rhymes: -yskæ Syllabification(key): ys‧kä Hyphenation(key): ys‧kä === Noun === yskä cough, tussis (condition that causes one to cough) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== === References === === Further reading === “yskä”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[3] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 4 July 2023 === Anagrams === -ksyä, äksy == Karelian == === Etymology 1 === See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form. ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /ˈysʲkæ/ Hyphenation: ys‧kä ==== Noun ==== yskä (genitive yssän, partitive yskiä) (South Karelian) alternative form of yškä (North Karelian) superseded spelling of yškä ===== Declension ===== === Etymology 2 === Borrowed from Finnish yskä.
