/ˈjohtɑːˣ/, [ˈjo̞xt̪ɑ̝ː(ʔ)]
AlkuperäFrom Proto-Finnic *johtadak (compare Estonian juhtima (“to steer, to lead”), Livonian jū’odõ, Livvi juohattua). The base verb johtaa was rather rare in Old Literary Finnish, with derivatives like johdattaa and now dialectal johdata being more common.
* (to derive): Semantic loan from Swedish avleda, itself from German ableiten, itself from Latin dēdūcō.
