Where this word comes from
Equivalent to nauta (“(head of) cattle”) + -tta, from earlier *naudetta through an Eastern Finnish dialect (where *-d- is regularly lost). However, the suffix -tta is not really attested in older words (other than potentially aitta), so perhaps navetta < *naudetta is in fact a reduced form or contraction of nauta-aitta (nauta + aitta, through *nautaitta), an idea already proposed by Mikkola (1912). Loaned early on to Western Finnish as well, having been attested in literature in its modern shape already since Agricola.
