<P align="justify"> Fishing has been an important livelihood especially for those Saami who live beside water. Salmonoids are among the most sought after and prized fish. The salmon (salmo salar) is caught mainly in the rivers that run into the Arctic Ocean.</p> <P align="justify"> The North Saami word for salmon is <i>luossa</i>. Corresponding forms are widely distributed through the {{Artikkelilinkki|20140721171759|Saami languages}} from Ume Saami to Kildin Saami. There are also cognate forms in the {{Artikkelilinkki|0123|Baltic-Finnic languages}}, as represented by the Finnish <i>lohi</i> salmon . It is an ancient Baltic loan word which is thought to have entered {{Artikkelilinkki|0142|Early Proto-Finnic}}, the common ancestor of the Finnish and Saami languages. The word has undergone sound changes both during its separate development in Saami (<i>š<i> > s) and in Baltic-Finnic after the split with Saami (<i>š</i> > h). The reconstructed {{Artikkelilinkki|0142|Early Proto-Finnic}} form is <i>*loše</i> (or <i>*loši</i>).</P> <P align="justify"> It may appear strange that although the salmon is such an important factor in the livelihood of the Saamis, its name is a loan word. The reason is that it was taboo to call it by its own Saami name while catching it. One can discern a similar phenomenon with the names of many animals of prey: hardly any of them have their own original names.</p>
