familiarity with #Arabic, plus other #Slavic and #Finnic languages... Either way, given Estonia’s istory of ‘H’-denial (see #Wiedemann’s orthographically nightmarish dictionary #EhstnischDeutschesWörterbuch), the name probably derives from haavik anyway (see #Haaviku).

Enthusiastic about #phonology and the reconstruction of #EastNorse and #Finnic.
My PhD from Helsinki University was on the Norse #umlauts.
I write in #Swedish, #Finnish and occasionally in East-Nylandic, the easternmost #dialect of Swedish, apart from the near-extinct Swedish dialect in Ukraine.
