Proto-Finnic
Etymology
From *sata + *-ma. The root is probably borrowed from Proto-Germanic *staþaz (whence English stathe, German Gestade (“shore”), dialectal Danish stade (“harbor”)).
Another possible explanation is derivation from *sata- (“to rain, to fall down”), with the semantic development "place of falling" > "place of descending (into a boat)", for which a parallel appears in *valkama.
