/ˈmeteli/, [ˈme̞t̪e̞li]
AlkuperäUnknown, possibly from the same onomatopoeic root as in mekkala and melu. Has also been proposed to be a borrowing from Russian метель (metelʹ, “blizzard, snowstorm”), but the semantic gap makes this unlikely.
- noise, racket
- synonym of jatuli (“a sort of giant”)
- obsoletea crime of intentionally endangering public safety or making a threat of violence against a public officer
