lapio

Finnish

Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *lapido, related to Estonian labidas, Karelian labju, Veps labid and Votic lappia. Possibly borrowed from a Balto-Slavic language; compare Proto-Slavic *lopata (shovel, spade), Lithuanian lópeta (shovel), Latvian lâpsta (shovel, spade) and Old Prussian lopto (spade). Also theorized to be equivalent to lapa + -io, but this is phonologically less tenable.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈlɑpio/, [ˈlɑ̝pio̞]
  • Rhymes: -ɑpio
  • Syllabification(key): la‧pi‧o

Noun

lapio

  1. shovel (tool for moving portions of material)
  2. spade (garden tool with a handle and a flat blade for digging)

Usage notes

No strict distinction between shovels and spades occurs in Finnish. The term lapio can be used for any tool consisting of a flat blade attached to a handle that is used for digging and/or carrying material. Compound words are used for more specific uses, like istutuslapio ((gardening) trowel), laastilapio ((mortar) trowel), lumilapio (snow shovel), pistolapio (shovel (with a pointed tip)) or puutarhalapio (gardening spade).
