I'm sick and tired of this bullshit!
Good thing there's a magical folk spa for pagan demons like me. Sauna can't cleanse my soul — because
I don't have one. But it definitely cleanses my mind and fur.

#shelter, hut or stopover, as suggested by its neighboring #Izhorian, #Karelian, #Ludian and, to a lesser extent #Finnish, #Livonian and #Votic. Records date back to 1374, known as #Suddenpe in 1421, prob. #MLG+#OldEst. for “On the marsh” (südde/sudde = morass or swamp + pe>pea) (see #Narva).

#Kivi (Kivi)
#Tallinn #Nõmme #Rahumäe
#Stone, #rock, #boulder. Judging by the large number of cognates (among other things) – kivi #Finnish, #Karelian, #Izhorian, #Olonets, Ludian & #Veps), tšivi (#Votic, for stone, flint, millstone...), ki’v (and variants, #Livonian), кӱ (#Mari),

later morphing into coat color, with FU cognates varying from plain red in #Finnish #puna and #punainen, #Votic puna, and #Livonian #pu’nni, through shades of brown and red (see #Lepa), to offshoots such as #strawberry- or blood-red in #Estonian, red or #SnowBunting in #Karelian (#punaine),
3/5
#Kalamehe (Kalamees)
#Tallinn #Pirita #Pirita
#Fisherman, #angler. One of an occupational street-name group. See #Meremehe. #Kala is derived from the proto #FinnoUgric *kala, fish (see also #Karelian, #Finnish & #Veps kala, #Hungarian hal, #Sami #guöllé, #Nenets, #халя, etc.) and related to
1/4
an #õu (prob. an FU word for door or gate, e.g. #Finnish & #Karelian ovi; #Mansi āwi; or #Votic övvi, courtyard; etc.) from 1970-80. Not quite sure what the difference is: both may be translated by #courtyard, but perhaps, like the #English #dyads of bull and beef (from #French "bœuf),
2/5
(or “hapless” according to #JRRTolkien) hero of the book’s second half. Recent years have seen an exploration of the #Kalevala as stolen or culturally appropriated from #Karelian. To be followed…

#shepherd-girl #Marjatta (named #NeitsyMaaria, or #VirginMary, by one of #Lönnrot’s sources, the #Karelian folk singer #ArhippaPerttunen [1769-1841(?)]) – becomes pregnant by swallowing a berry, and a berry in #Finnish (and #Estonian #genitive) is #Marja. This closing canto hints at Lönnrot’s

infrastructure construction at four military bases near #Finland: #Kamenka on the #Karelian #Isthmus, #Petrozavodsk, #Severomorsk_2, and #Olenya
Comparing images taken at #Kamenka on May 14, 2022 and February 4, 2025, over 130 military tents can be seen been erected in the last
three years at
'Raamatukoi' bookshop in Harju, Tallinn.
Bas relief sculpture on a wall in Harju, Tallinn.
Earliest records give #Harien (1212), #Harriæn and #Hæriæ (1241) and there may have been no initial ‘h’. No consensus as to original meaning. The word is said to sound like various #Finnish, #Karelian, #Olonets, etc., words for ridge, harja ‘peak; crest of a mountain’,
2/10
Grafitti stating the question: "is it enough?" on an old house in Sauna, Tallinn.
#Sami languages: #suovdnji, hole dug in the snow (by birds, e.g. willow grouse) and #suodji, shelter, and historical #Karelian #soakna for “winter dwelling, a pit dug into snow for temporary shelter”, the commonality being a constructed shelter providing warmth. Case still open. See #Kinga.

I just love over feeding my family and everyone ever to come visit. Just one of those things instilled in me by my #karelian grandparents.
My mom spent a week in Israeli prison before I was born, for living with bedouins. She was a Finnish anthropologist.
I will also not be silent.
Fuckers.
We were Jews. We escaped you.
You missing a tribe?
THE EXILES.

I am the anti christ!
But not the abomination of desolation ffs.
The Karelian flag, a green flag with a black cross with red borders (Scandinavian cross flag), used to mark ethnic Karelians in russia, but also the flag used by the Grand Karelian independence movement. (Image: Karjala.fi)
#YLE has sent #Karelian news and the program Uudizet karjalakse (News in Karelian) for the past ten years, this has developed the Karelian language with new words, Natalia #Giloeva had to invent many new words to be able to read the news in Karelian. This […]

My great grandmother, Anna Maria Sillander. From Lappeenranta, #Karelian. Before the Winter War. Baked and sold bread from a horse-drawn carriage to escape.
The #Russians left Coke bottles with explosives for the children to find. I'm getting info slowly from my mom.
2 of her boys died that way.
Another Anna Maija.
Great grandmother.
She ran a bakery from a horse and carriage as they escaped their homelands.
I have the same bump on my nose.
#Karelian #sisu #winterwar
Scrached and scraped, got a pic of some relatives. I believe this is right after the winter war of 1939.
Grandmother is in the baby buggy. Anna Maija Silander. #Karelian
I'll try to get some names next.
Mine lived on the White Sea, g-grandma and 8 of her 8 kids were slaughtered in a massacre. Only the baby girl on the right survived. #winterwar #Karelian
(itself possibly related to Finnish luoja, #creator, or to a hypothetical verb such as *luotaa, to descend), #Karelian luuveh for west or #southwest, #Livonian lūod and #Ludian luodeh for vanilla west, and back to #Veps and #Votic with lode / lodeh and loo / looto / looõ for northwest or west,
