таимень

See also: таймень

Old Novgorodian[edit]

First attested in c. 1360‒1380. Borrowed from Finnic language, probably from Finnish taimen or Karelian taimen (also compare Estonian taim, Livonian taimin), from Proto-Finnic *taimën, an extension of *taimi (“trout, salmon”).

Middle Russian таймень (tajmenʹ), whence Russian тайме́нь (tajménʹ), was first attested only in 1628.^[1] Derivative тайменина (tajmenina, “taimen meat”) attested since 1590,^[2] таймешекъ (tajmešek, “small taimen”) attested since 1626.^[3]
