Only when the nomadic Saami settled down more permanently did they also begin to raise sheep, goats and cattle. However, the pastoral reindeer-herding Saami of the Enontekiö region also kept goats for milk. The owners only kept the animals on their summer pastures; for the winter they gave them to farmers to look after.</p><P align="justify"> The names of these later domestic animals have been borrowed from neighbouring languages, that is from the languages spoken in the regions from which the animals were originally obtained. The North Saami name for the goat is gáica, a Scandinavian loan word, evidently borrowed from Proto-Scandinavian. The modern equivalent in Swedish is get and in Norwegian geit. The word is found in all the western Saami languages and in Inari and Skolt Saami. At least in South and Pite Saami, the word means specifically a she-goat. The word has also been borrowed with the same meaning into the Finnish dialects of Västerbotten and the Finnmark in the form keituri.</p>he Finnmark in the form keituri.</p> +
