As your most humble servant, a list member wish is my
command
Teemu has been covered, yy in pyy as ueue in queue,
English speakers tend to get luo-ma close enough. Big
brother still gets a Christmas card addressed to Mr
Piemama every year from a hotel in Thailand so we are
pretty much used to everything beginning with p.
As far as the etymology goes, pyy is hazel hen, luoma
is arcane Finnish. Luoma is kind of like a stream that
connects to a river except that the water in luoma is
still. Think of a T-section in a river. There is one
in the farm where my father grew up, and five
generations or so back my ancestors didn't have
surnames at all so I guess the name comes from the
farm. I have no idea what luoma would be in English,
suggestions welcome.
And it is Vappu here, which is Labour Say and coming
of spring of festivies mixed in to one big party. So
with Andreas in Bombay you are pretty much one on your
own for the next 24 hours.
Cheers,
Teemu
