Proper noun
Joukahainen
- (Finnic mythology) One of the main characters in Kalevala, the Finnish national epic.
- 1849 Kalevala (Translation 1988 by Eino Friberg) 6:129-134:
Tuossa nuori Joukahainen / Jo vähän ajattelevi, / Pikkuisen piättelevi: / Käsi käski ampumahan, / Käsi käski, toinen kielti, / Sormet suoniset pakotti.- At these words young Joukahainen / Tried to think the matter over / And it stopped him for a while: / His hands are undecided now, / One says "go", the other "no", / Till his finger muscles ache.
- A database of Finnish words, maintained by the University of Turku, named after the mythological character.
