Word derivation for "blanket" :
Basque = burusi, Finnish = viltti
Miresua = bulti
This is a new word. Other Finnish words that can mean blanket are huopa (felt) and peite (cover).
The word blanket doesn't occur in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but it occurs once in Through the Looking-Glass. This quote refers to brothers Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
So the two brothers went off hand-in-hand into the wood, and returned in a minute with their arms full of things -- such as bolsters, blankets, hearth-rugs, table-cloths, dish-covers and coal-scuttles.
