Word derivation for "thunder" :
Basque = trumoi, Finnish = ukkonen
Miresua = ukrumo
The Finnish word ukkonen is derived from Ukko, the god of heaven in Finnish mythology.
The word thunder appears once in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in chapter 8, The Queen's Croquet-Ground.
"Get to your places!" shouted the Queen in a voice of thunder, and people began running about in all directions, tumbling up against each other....
