"kamin" is also is the Danish word .. I always thought the two had : nothing in common. Well, they do have a link - Swedish, to be precise. There's plenty of originally Swedish words in Finnish (as well as more modern words from English and some very old ones from germanic languages). Joka tapauksessa suurin osa suomen sanoista pohjautuu kuitenkin joko suomalais-ugrilaiseen kantasanastoon, tai sitten niin vanhoihin lainasanoihin, ettei niiden alkuper� useinkaan ole maallikolle selv�. Vilket kan vara nyttigt, since that means we can speak Finnish even with foreigners present without having to worry that they'd recognize some of the words, varsinkin jos v�ltt�� sivistyssanoja ja puhekielen lainoja. Ce n'est pas tres poli, though. -- Ilmari Karonen http://www.sci.fi/~iltzu/
