Alternatiivseid etümoloogiaid X. kosur, koslep, luup(a), lõust ja pook

The article presents a new or refined etymological interpretation of the words kosurâ body bag > a bodyful of beatingâ , koslep â body bag, skin bagâ , luup(a) Ê1⁄4mould-board ploughâ , lÃμust Ê1⁄4(ugly) face, lookâ and pook â the hem of a skirt, shirt or other garmentâ . kosur : kosur â a bodyful of beatingâ and its phonetic variants are mainly known in East and South Estonia, but there are scattered reports from elsewhere. The word is a borrowing from the Russian ÐoÐ3⁄4Ð¶Ñ Ì Ñ â sheepskin travelling catâ . Despite the semantic discrepancy, it has been erroneously associated with the homonymic Russian loan koser, kooser beam and an iron gib > mouldboard. The equivalents of the word are Votic loopi, loppi, etc. â coulter, i.e. the part of the mould-board plough that turns away from the cut-up ploughshareâ and Finnish dial. (Kallivere in Estonian Inger) luopin â the shovel-like appendage of the forked ploughâ . The Estonian-Votic-Finnish word in question is presumably a loan from the Russian dialectal substantive ÐoлÐ3⁄4пР̧Ðo â plough that turns the ridge of soil to one side onlyâ , which is etymologically related to the verb ÐoлÐμÐ¿Ð°Ñ Ñ â to forge (cold iron), rivet, (hammer) surfaceâ . lÃμust : lÃμusta â an odd, deformed or distorted face, facial disfigurement, grimace; an unpleasant-looking person, the face of an animalâ was little known in the early decades of the 20th century. In Wiedemannâ s dictionary, the word is erroneously recorded as a word from the Tartu and VÃμru dialects in Southern Estonia. Subsequent dialectal research has revealed that the word lÃμust is only slightly known in North Estonia. In etymological studies, lÃμust has been regarded as a descriptive word. I assume that lÃμust, with its North Estonian dialect background, is a lexicalised form of the lÃμu(se)dâ (swollen) neck glandsâ of the plural inflection lÃμus, which has been adapted to st-final nouns. An analogue of the etymological relationship described is the English mumps pl â inflammation of the salivary glandsâ
