Sǟnag

Historically Sounaggen – Latvian Saunags, Livonian Sǟnag. L. Kettunen tentatively links this term to a name of a fish common in Finnic languages: Estonian säinas, säinakas, Finnish säynävä, Veps säunged – Lucioperca lucioperca [according to LĒL the standard name of this species of fish is zāndat]. According to Kettunen's dictionary at least in the 20th century there has been no such a word in the Livonian language, however, according to reconstruction it should have been *säunag. Thus it is possible that the name derives from another Finnic language. Perhaps from Estonian. Like in the case of Pitrõg its historical spelling (Sounaggen) likely reflects its Latvian pronunciation.[1]
