Usage notes
- Nowadays mostly used in the phrase tulta ja tappuraa (literally “fire and waste fibres”), which signifies something explosive; or figuratively something passionate, emotional or powerful. This expression probably originates from the easy flammability of the tangled, short waste fibres and shives.
- Also used in the translation of the Bible in the term orjantappurakruunu (“crown of thorns”) and for any of the several thorny shrubs (orjantappura).
