sauna; proposed earlier stove reference
- SOUND
- Kallio compares Proto-Finnic *sakna with Palaeo-Germanic *stagh-ná- as an ancient borrowing adapted to Finnic phonotactics.
- MEANING
- A Germanic pile or stack term is proposed to have named a stone-pile stove, then the sauna containing it.
- CHRONOLOGY
- Proposed prehistoric borrowing before attested Finnish.
- SCHOLAR
- Petri Kallio · Jussi Ylikoski
- CONFIDENCE
- proposed — Kotus says the Germanic proposal has gained support; Ylikoski also records explicit scholarly skepticism.

- SOUND
- Modern Finnish sauna continues reconstructed Proto-Finnic *sakna through Finnic sound development; the intermediate changes are not over-specified here.

“Every” means every descendant in the reviewed SET-U graph. It does not convert missing scholarship or missing ingestion into a claim of historical completeness. The coverage ledger remains the honest denominator.
