isokauris
Finnish
Etymology
iso (“big”) + kauris (“small deer”); coined in 2008 by a committee that made a proposal for Finnish names of all mammals. Before that this animal was called saksanhirvi (lit. "German elk") or punahirvi (lit. "red elk").
Usage notes
This term is slowly gaining ground, but saksanhirvi still appears to be clearly more commonly used (in 2017).
