![]() In one proposal, this Finnish word comes from a Proto-Germanic word * sōma-, itself from Proto-Baltic * sāma-, in turn borrowed from Proto-Finnic * šämä, which was borrowed from * žēmē. Suomi and its adjectival form suom alainen must come from * sōme-/ sōma. The Finnish word for Finland, Suomi, is also thought probably to derive ultimately from Proto-Baltic * žēmē, though the precise route is debated and proposals usually involve complex processes of borrowing and reborrowing. This word became modern Finnish Häme (Finnish for the region of Tavastia the second ä of * šämä is still found in the adjective Häm äläinen). The word Sámi has at least one cognate word in Finnish: Proto-Baltic * žēmē was also borrowed into Proto-Finnic, as * šämä. As of around 2014, the current consensus among specialists was that the word Sámi was borrowed from the Proto-Baltic word * žēmē, meaning 'land' ( cognate with Slavic zemlja ( земля), of the same meaning). Speakers of Northern Sámi refer to themselves as Sámit (the Sámis) or Sápmelaš (of Sámi kin), the word Sápmi being inflected into various grammatical forms. 11.1 History of scientific research carried out on the SámiĪ Sámi depicted in art, painting by François-Auguste Biard Sámi.10.4 Neo-shamanism and traditional healing.2.5.4 Climate change and the environment. ![]()
