Se on lainattu myös useisiin lähisukukieliin. Suomen kirjakielessä lavitsa on ensi kertaa mainittu Ericus Schroderuksen sanakirjassa vuonna 1637. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2009-02-09 20:02:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or simply a bench (it is fastened to the wall and goes round the room in a farmhouse in Finland). http://igs.kirjastot.fi/iGS/kysymykset/haku.aspx?word=Lainas... http://fi.ilmainen-sanakirja.com/word/plank-bed |
