 For example, "roim" ("crime") might have been influenced by the English word "crime"; "relv" ("weapon") might have been influenced by the English word "revolver"; and "taunima" ("to condemn, disapprove") might have been influenced by the Finnish word "tuomita" ("to condemn, to judge").Aavik tried to modernize even the grammar.He advocated the usage of i-plural instead of t(d)-plural ("keelis" pro "keeltes") and the i-superlative instead of the ordinary superlative ("suurim" pro "kõige suurem"), as well as –nd instead of –nud in active past participle.
