In some way from Proto-Finno-Permic *počaw, probably borrowed from Proto-Indo-Iranian *páću, from Proto-Indo-European *peḱu- (“cattle”). The regular inherited form would have been in **poto < Proto-Finnic **poto. Koivulehto (2007) suggests that r in place of expected t has developed by generalization from an old Northwestern dialect form *podoi, and the word was later loaned back to the more southern and eastern dialects.^[1] Kuokkala (2018) instead posits that the Finnic words could be borrowed from Samic, where the -r- would substitute for the affricate in the Sami etymon.^[2]
