navetta

 

nauta +‎ -tta, from earlier *naudetta (*nauẟetta) through an Eastern Finnish dialect. Alternatively a contracted univerbation of nauta-aitta (nauta + aitta, through *nautaitta), an idea already proposed by Mikkola (1912).^[1] Loaned early on to Western Finnish as well, having been attested in literature in its modern shape already since Agricola.
