And of course, to go further into nothing making any sense:

The Finnish language took the Russian word for sable, sóbol, and made a word of its own based off that: sopuli. But sopuli doesn't mean sable. It means lemming. Somebody got confused. Later they heard about sable and named it soopeli in Finnish.
