   • early 1900s, “Thermopylain laulu”, Uuno Kailas (lyrics), Heikki Klemetti (music):

     Sinis, veljeni, kun minä kuolen,
     minä heilutan tapparaa,
     sinis lennätän viuhuvan nuolen,
     sinis miekkani leimahtaa.

     Until, my brother, I am dead,
     I shall swing my battle-axe,
     until then I shall let my arrows fly,
     until then my sword shall flame.

Borrowed from Dutch cynisch (compare Afrikaans sinies), from German zynisch, from Latin cynicus, from Ancient Greek κυνικός (kunikós).
