lauta

From Proto-Germanic *lūtaną.

lauta (present laut, plural lautum, preterite lot or låt or lut, supine lutið, past participle lutin)

1. (neuter verb) lean

• lautänd

From Proto-Finnic *lauta, an Indo-European loanword from either Baltic or Germanic, compare eg. Lithuanian plautas (“shelf”), Old Norse flauta (“crossbeam in sleigh”). The word has also been loaned to the other Baltic-Finnic languages, e.g. Estonian laud (“table”), as well as the Samic languages, e.g. Skolt Sami lu´vdd (“plank; float for seine”)

lauta

1. A board (long, wide and thin piece of sawn timber).
2. An element in many compound words, where the English equivalent is "board" (The Finnish equivalent for "board" may also be taulu or levy). These compounds can be shortened to plain lauta, if there is no danger of confusion.

   šakkilauta (“chessboard”)

   silityslauta (“ironing board”)

   lainelauta (“surfboard”)

   lumilauta (“snowboard”)

   ponnahduslauta (“springboard”)

3. (colloquial) A woman who has small breasts.

• As sawn timber, lauta is generally at least 75 mm (3") wide and no more than 38 mm (1,5") thick. Anything narrower is called rima, and anything thicker is lankku or parru.
