umpi
See also: umpi-
Finnish
Etymology
From Germanic, compare Middle Low German umbe, Proto-Germanic *umbi (“around, about, by, near”). Borrowed into Proto-Finno-Saamic, cognates include Northern Sami oppa (“whole; quite a”). Possibly borrowed even earlier into Proto-Finno-Permic, in which case cognates include Komi-Zyrian об (ob, “heavy snowfall”). Doublet of ympäri.
