kaski 'burnt over clearing' is an so called e-stem (PU i-stem). These
words are very old, some 2000 years +/- at least. at that time proto-
germanic for 'björk-aska' would have been something rather longer.

=========
Assuming this is a PU word
which is unproven
The -i- cannot be old
otherwise Finnish should be käski.
kaski is *impossible*.
