<P align="justify"> The <i>náhppi</i> has been used all over Saamiland/<i>Sápmi</i>. The word <i>náhppi</i> probably originates from the Old Norse <i>hnappr</i>, which means dish. In German we can find the word <i>nápf</i>, which also means dish. The Finnish etymological dictionary explains the Finnish word <i>nappa</i> or <i>naapa</i> as dish or vessel. As the Saami domesticated their reindeer the adjusting of the bowl for milking a female reindeer took place. The <i>náhppi</i> can today be divided into two categories: one having the original shape for the purpose of milking the doe, and the other having a developed shape with the original as a basis, but the purpose is no longer milking. If one looks at old milking bowls one will find <i>náhpit</i> of different shapes: some are of very deep and round shape, while others are shallow and open. When the doe was no longer milked, the making of <i>náhppi</i> has developed into something beyond handicraft, namely art. In that way the <i>náhppi</i> became more abstract and got a totally different meaning. The shape of the handle changed, as it no longer was going to be used for holding during milking. Today we speak more of polishing and decorating of the <i>náhppi</i> than in the old days. The same thing has happened to other Saami artefacts that previously had other usage. The purpose, and thus the content, has changed. Today it is also common for women to make <i>náhppi</i>.</p> Etymological article about {{Artikkelilinkki|1160|<i>náhppi</i>}}. <BR><BR> {{Kuvalinkki|01nahppi.jpg|<b>Náhppi</b><BR>Náhppi, a vessel for milking reindeer owned by Anders Henning Bær, Guovdageaidnu (Kautokeino).
