7-star Tera Raid Battles: Meowscarada with the Mightiest Mark

Etymology

Borrowed from Late Old Swedish pærun (“pear”) (compare dialectal Finnish Swedish pärun, perun and standard Swedish päron). Originally meant “pear”, in which sense it has been attested since the time of Mikael Agricola (16th century). When potatoes were first introduced to Finland in the 18th century, they were usually called maaperuna (literally “earth-pear”) (compare Swedish jordpäron (“potato”), German Erdbirne (“potato”, literally “earth-pear”), Grundbirne (literally “ground-pear”)). peruna in its modern sense is first mentioned in a 1787 dictionary by Christfried Ganander.[1][2][3] As the potato grew in relevance, there was pressure to shorten the name to simply peruna, as potatoes quickly become much more relevant for Finnish speakers than pears. For the sense “pear”, the doublet päärynä came about as a more recent borrowing from Swedish, and ambiguity was thus avoided.

Pronunciation

• IPA(key): /ˈperunɑ/, [ˈpe̞runɑ̝]
• Rhymes: -erunɑ
• Hyphenation(key): pe‧ru‧na

Noun

peruna

1. potato, Solanum tuberosum (plant and the tuber)
   Synonyms: (informal) pottu, (dialectal or archaic) potaatti, (obsolete, dialectal) jyrkkö
   1800-luvulla peruna syrjäytti nauriin Suomen tärkeimpänä juureksena.
   In the 19th century, the potato replaced the turnip as the most important root vegetable in Finland.
2. (obsolete) Synonym of päärynä (“pear”)

OTTAWA, ON (February 26, 2025) – Gabbie Hughes capped a three-point performance with overtime heroics to lift Ottawa to a 5-4 victory over New York at TD Place on Wednesday night. The high-scoring outcome gives the Charge 10 points in their last five games, and a five-point lead on the Sirens, who dropped their eighth straight decision. Hughes was one of four players with multiple points in the nine-goal game by opening the scoring and picking up an assist on a goal by the red-hot Emily Clark who has points in six straight games. Charge rookie defender Stephanie Markowski had two assists, including a shot that was re-directed by Taylor House for her first career goal. The Sirens offense was led by veteran Alex Carpenter and rookie Sarah Fillier with a goal and an assist each, as the team battled back from three different one-goal deficits to force overtime. Ella Shelton and Abby Roque added single goals for New York, and Shiann Darkangelo also found the back of the net for Ottawa. Emerance Maschmeyer picked up her third win of the season and now leads the league with 430 saves, earning 27 on the night. Corinne Schroeder recorded 28 saves on 33 shots in defeat.
