1. Romanization of ᬓᬚ.

kaja

1. case, box

Etymology unclear. Probably a deverbal from kajama (“to echo”), from Proto-Finnic *kajadak. Cognate with Veps kajata (“to echo”) and Northern Sami gádja (“echo”). Possibly from kaikuma, compare Finnish kaikua and kaiku; possibly vice versa (i.e. kaikuma derived from kaja or kajama).
