Etymology: From Proto-Finnic *tuli (compare Estonian tuli), from Proto-Uralic *tule (compare Northern Sami dolla, Moksha тол (tol), Eastern Mari тул (tul), Udmurt тыл (tyl), Tundra Nenets ту (tu)). tuli has previously been typical of Eastern Finnish, whereas Western Finnish dialects usually used valkea.
