NOR SU 853

Norsu means elephant in Finnish...

+2

"Originally synonym of mursu (“walrus”) [1], which is a loan from Northern Sami morša (“walrus”). Before detailed information about the elephant spread to Finland, it was only known as a big, thick-skinned animal with handsome tusks, hence the initial confusion. The meanings diverged around 18th century."
