Etymology

From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 376: Parameter 2 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "fiu-fin-pro" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E.. Cognate with Finnish Finnish hiisi and Livvi hiiži (devil). The original meaning in Proto-Finnic was most likely "burial ground". Possibly a loan from Proto-Germanic *χīđiz (den, thicket) or *sīdǭ (side).
