E.A. Poe in Finnish? What next? Even though 'raven' is a loan from
Swedish, 'crow' seems to be in most FU languages.
Hung. - varja'
Finnish - variks- (nom. sing. varis)
This reminds me of Richard's post.
*k-? Pokorny (root #919) has a nice set of 'magpie' words, e.g.
Sanskrit _sa:rika:_
This appears in Finnish as 'harakka' magpie. presumably borrowed
from Baltic.
