Etymology
Many dialectal variants (hailakka, haijakka, haitakka). hailakka may be the original as it is also found in Karelian, which also has Karelian hailata (“to rush, run around”). If so, it may be from hailakka (“pale, faded, wishy-washy”), as fast things have an indistinct colour. The consonant variations would be sound-symbolic.
