Finnish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Finnic *loitto-, whence also Karelian loittoni, loittoine, Ludian loitton, Veps loitos. Possibly related to loiva.
Pronunciation[edit]
Adjective[edit]
loitto (comparative loitompi, no superlative) (archaic)
- distant (located far away)
- 1915, Valter juva (tr.), “Jumalien tanhu (title of a poem)”, in Valikoima runoja (A collection of poems), translation of Gudarne dansa (Dance of the gods) by Gustaf Fröding:
- Noin jumalat ylhät, riemuin ja soitoin; ne arvoisin elein ja katsehin loitoin; kävi juhlaan, …
- Thus the noble gods with joy and music; with dignified gestures and distant gazes; began the party, …
Usage notes[edit]
- Unlike positive, the comparative forms are used even in contemporary Finnish as adjectives.
- Some comparative forms are used also as adverbs: loitommaksi, loitommalla, loitommalle, loitommalta, loitommas, loitompaa, loitompana.
- The word loitto is used as modifier in some compound terms in the field of photography.
Declension[edit]
Currently only the adessive, ablative and allative case forms are used as adverbs; any other cases, including the nominative, are archaic.
