From your previous mail,
Norwegian Saami gad'de 'bank' usw. ~ Finnish kanto 'tree stump,
Estonian kand (Gen. kannu) id., Saami Norwegian Saami guoddo id. In
SKES the Finnish words kanta and kanto are separated. This seems not
to be warranted semantically.

It definitely is warranted semantically that these words are to be
separated.
