mutta
Finnish
Etymology
From muu (“other”), either based on the abessive singular form (muutta, as if "without something else", "not to mention something else"), the partitive singular form (muuta: "something else") or (rejected by SKRK) from the -tta suffix indicating adverbs of manner ("regarding something else"). Compare Ingrian mut, Karelian muuta.

- IPA(key): /ˈmutːɑ/, [ˈmut̪ːɑ]
