thanks[edit]

Thanks for your correction of pii to hammas. Is pii an old, unused word? Somebody got it from some Encyclopedia. antifinnugor 19:27, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I dug into this a little bit: the "tooth of a rake" is called "pii" in Finnish, apparently, although I'm a native speaker and have never heard that before. It could be regional, or just getting old. But, if you were after the tooth found in a mouth, "hammas" is the word. — Kimmo Suominen 03:13, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)

I should add that more commonly "pii" means silicon and flint. — Kimmo Suominen 03:18, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
