Editing Chud (section)

==Etymology==
There are a number of hypotheses as to the origin of the term. ''Chud'' could be derived from the Slavic word ''tjudjo'' ('foreign' or 'strange'). Another hypothesis is that the term was derived from a transformation of the Finno-Ugric name for the [[wood grouse]]. Yet another hypothesis contends that it is derived from the [[Sami languages|Sami]] word ''tshudde'' or ''čuđđe'', meaning an enemy or adversary ({{langx|fi|vainolainen}}).<ref name="Drannikova">{{cite journal|last1=Drannikova |first1=Natalia |last2=Larsen |first2=Roald |date=30 September 2008 |title=Representations of the Chuds in Norwegian and Russian Folklore |journal=Acta Borealia |volume=25 |issue=1 |pages=58–72 |doi=10.1080/08003830802302893 |s2cid=162346917}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{cite book|title=Ancient Karelia |last=Uino |first=Pirjo |publisher=Suomen muinaismuistoyhdistyksen aikakausikirja 104 |year=1997 |location=Helsinki |pages=101}}</ref> This, however, would have required prominent Sami presence in trading centers around [[Lake Ladoga]].<ref name=":0" />
