From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 370: Parameter 2 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "fiu-fin-pro" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E., an old Baltic loan; derived from the same word from which e.g. Lithuanian gaũras is descended. Cognates include Veps karv, Estonian karv and Livonian kōra. Originally karva only had the meaning "color". In its current meaning it is first mentioned in a biblical text in 1621.^[1]
