Juoigat (to sing yoik songs) In North Saami the word for this traditional Saami way of singing is juoiggus (or [[Luohti|luohti]]), which is a derivative from the verb juoigat to sing in the traditional Saami way . The verb has equivalent forms in all the Saami languages (e.g. South Saami joejkedh, Inari Saami juoigâđ>). It is of the same origin as the Finnish word joikua of the same meaning, and one can posit a common proto-form for the Saami and Finnish words: *jojki-. In Baltic-Finnic languages, the word also occurs in Karelian, where it also means to ring, sound and to gossip, slander . It is unclear whether the Livonian juoik to complain, moan is also related. If the Livonian verb has a different origin, the Finnish and Karelian words could be borrowings from Saami. In which case, it is possible that the Livonian cognate of the Saami word is jaig to be on heat from a common proto-form *jajki-). All these words are probably of onomatopoeic origin, which makes it difficult to assess their cognate or borrowing relationship. The Saami word has been borrowed into Norwegian (joike, jøike) and Swedish (jojka) and via them and Finnish in writing into German (joiken) Otsikko 102
