Of course that should be “cognate with gothic ‘jah'”, only as spelled at http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%F0%90%8C%BE%F0%90%8C%B0%F0%90%8C%B7 – something seems to have lost the gothic characters, at least as displayed here.

Ah. Gothic is in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, which might account for MySQL or WordPress eating them.
(It shouldn’t, as it’s UTF-8, but maybe there’s a handrolled UTF-8 converter somewhere in there, given that PHP didn’t handle UTF-8 for ages.)

I don’t think North S?mi and Gothic share a common ancestor we know about, so I don’t think we can say they’re cognates. It might be a borrowing.

Oh, yes, that?s just me being ignorant of the properly narrow definition of ?cognate?, I didn?t mean to imply a common ancestor. At any rate I hear that the word is similar in modern Finnish too.
