uve inan

  1. The name of the Latin-script letter V/v.
  • IPA(key): /ˈuʋeˣ/, [ˈuʋe̞(ʔ)]
  • Rhymes: -uʋe
  • Hyphenation(key): uve

From Proto-Finnic *uvëh (copmare Karelian uvehavanto, Ludian ubehlähte, Veps ubehlähte). Ultimately derived from Proto-Uralic *uwa (“stream”) with the suffix +‎ -e, either as an irregular retention form (compare vuo, vuotaa) or based on a stem re-loaned from early Samic (compare old Southern Sami uwe (“stream”)).[1]

uve

  1. A hole in the ice of a lake or other body of water, created by water flowing from below the ice.
    Synonyms: uveavanto, uhkuavanto

    • 1859, August Ahlqvist, Muistelmia matkoilta Venäjällä vuosina 1854-1858, Viides kirja:

      Edellisten päivien leudot ilmat olivat vaikuttaneet sen, että Volgan jää oli syvän uve-veden vallassa – –

      The mild temperature of the previous days had had the effect of the ice on the Volga now being covered in deep water from the holes in it – –

Rarely inflected, as the word is usually only found in compounds.

From Proto-Finnic *ubëh. Cognate with Ingrian uve, Karelian uveh, Livvi uveh, Ludian ubeh and Veps ubeh.
