TekstiThis property is a special property in this wiki. <P align="justify">The word <i><P align="justify">The word <i>goddi</i> 'wild reindeer' ([[Boazu (Reindeer)|<i>boazu</i>]] for a domesticated reindeer) has analgous forms in all the Saami languages. It has been suggested that there are cognates in Mansi and the Samoyedic languages, but these are phonetically uncertain. Similar words are also found in languages outside the Uralic family (Mongol, Tungus and Yukhagir), and they may all be descended from a north Eurasian word of wide dispersion over different language families. </p><P align="justify"> If we take as our point of departure the meaning 'a communally hunted animal', the word <I>goddi</i> can be related to the following two phonetically identical stems in Saami: # <I>-goddi</i> '-group', which appears in compound words like <I>sohkagoddi</i> 'kin' and <I>bárragoddi</i> 'couple'; #<I> goddit</i> 'to kill, catch as prey'. The former is related to the Finnish word <I>kunta</i> '(local)commune'; (in compounds) group, and its original meaning was probably 'a group of hunters, a hunting party'; the Hungarian <I>had</i> 'a war party, tribe' is descended from the same Finno-Ugric source. The original meaning of the second Finno-Ugric (or Uralic) verbal root was presumably 'to catch, seize'. The derivative<I> goddalit</i> 'to try to kill' may also be of very ancient origin. Phonetically suitable cognates in Finnish would be <I>kuunnella </i>(in dialect also <I>kunella</i>) 'to listen' and in Hungarian <I>hall</i> 'to hear' (with a transitional meaning of 'to stalk a prey'; the change in meaning and, in Finnish, in the phonetic form may have been affected by the Finno-Ugric verb root <I>*küli</i>, from which the Saami <I>gullat</i> 'to hear' and the Finnish <I>kuulla</i> 'to hear' are descended. </p><P align="justify"> Look also: * [[Goddesáhpan (Lemming)|<I>goddesáhpán</i>]] * [[The reindeer and the wild reindeer|peura ja poro]] * [[Wild reindeer hunt|Wild reindeer hunt]]</p> <BR>|Wild reindeer hunt]]</p> <BR>  +
