- past of alti
Finnish
[edit ]Etymology
[edit ]Uncertain. Traditionally a western Finnish dialectal word; no known cognates exist in other Finnic languages. Possibly borrowed from Proto-Germanic *aldaz ~ *alþijaz ("old") (for the ending, compare tyyris < *diurijaz ; for the gradation, compare raitis << *raidi(ja)z ), but the semantics are unclear; a shift like "old, grown" → "mature" → "ready" could be supposed[1] (perhaps with secondary influence by folk etymology with ala- , through the verb altistaa being associated with alistaa ).[2]
