nokivaris

Finnish

Etymology

noki (“soot”) +‎ varis (“crow”)

Noun

nokivaris

  1. carrion crow (Corvus corone)

Usage notes
  • Until recently nokivaris (which is rarely seen in Finland) was believed to be just a black variant of hooded crow or grey crow (varis, which is common in Finland). Therefore many dictionaries give "carrion crow" as translation for varis.
