Then again, at least this is more descriptive than the 13 called Vesijärvi, or "Water Lake".

So in "Paskalampi" and "Vesijärvi", which part of it means "lake"? Naively (I have obviously no clue about finnish), I would have expected some syllables (or token in modern LLM terminology) to occur in both names (i.e. representing the "lake" part).

  "Lampi" means "pond", "järvi" means "lake"

      Finland has over 180,000 lakes. Makes sense that they have more than one word for it.

  In linguistics, the term would be "morpheme"
