karhi

See also: kärhi

Finnish

Etymology

Most likely karhea +‎ -i. Derivation from a root *karča (“twig”) has also been proposed; in which case the word would be akin to Moksha кархча (karxča), Hill Mari карша (karša), though this seems unlikely due to an absense of cognates elsewhere in Finnic.[1]
