Quincy, please remember that a village idiot is an honor in
Finland, finnish literature, culture and folklore is full of
them, without them there can be no village.
(this danish guy messed it up with kids and the emperors
cloths, no sauna culture, as well as ducks and ducklings,
adult idits can do better)

more like the earliest ones than later variations:

dictionary.com

[Middle English, ignorant person, from Old French idiote, from Latin idita, from Greek idits, private person, layman, from idios, own, private. See s(w)e- in Indo-European Roots.]

Ilmarinen

s(w)e clearly means Sweden.
(still Ruotsi in finnish, and Russia in russian,
because they did all that rowing)

LarsA: like Roslagen
