harsia

See also: Harsia

Finnish

Etymology

Unknown. The root seems to mean "sparse" - compare Karelian harsie (“somewhat sparse”), for which an exact cognate harsea is barely attested, but harskea slightly more so. A relationship with harva is possible, albeit the exact derivation is obscure.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈhɑrsiɑˣ/, [ˈhɑ̝rs̠iɑ̝(ʔ)]
• Rhymes: -ɑrsiɑ
• Syllabification^(key): har‧si‧a

Verb

harsia

1. to baste, tack (to sew with long or loose stitches)
