[tied] Re: Indo-European for Uralic speakers

The word "poika" is a very old word dating back at least to common
FU time.

The finnish word for girl is tyttö. Also this have something simular
in Scandinavian - tutte. I do not know anything about the origin of
this word.

It is culturally interesting that the word poika has not been
replaced, when the IU words for boy seens to have been replaced in
all modern IU languages many times as far as I know.

Does Glen or some other know of this word might have an origin from
the Steppe or Nostratic level?
