pii

Finnish. Rfv-sense #3 under Etymology 2: Synonym of hammas.

@Surjection I don't think so. We have sense #1 "thorn, prong, tooth or similar element e.g. in a plant, a saw or a rake" and it is correct that in this sense "hammas" is a synonym. Having this (#3) as separate sense leads one to think that "pii" might have referred to the anatomical tooth as well. I found no evidence but am happy to see any quotes that would prove me wrong. --Hekaheka (talk) 14:09, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

pii's original etymological meaning is tooth in the anatomical sense, but it's not obvious that this sense survived into Finnish - I'll see if I can find quotes. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 14:30, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
