Etymology 1
From Proto-Finnic *lakci, a possible Baltic loan. -ht- in the nominative is by analogy with the oblique case forms; the expected form laksi (compare the declension of kaksi) has fallen out of usage but survives in Swedish toponyms.
Cognates include Karelian laksi, Veps laht, Estonian laht, Votic lahti and Northern Sami luokta.[1]
