mutta

See also: Mutta, mútta, and muttā

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.
