Intermediate directions and do Finns and Estonians eat lunch at different times?

Lounas the direction has nothing to do with lunch despite being a homophone. Bit of googling and apparently both estonian and finnish share the same word root, which meant south/midday, which is why the midday meal is named that. In estonian that stayed as south, but in finnish it was relegated to southwest.

Edit: apparently etelä is called that because ancient finns built their homes with the door facing south, therefore the “front place” or “edessä / ete lä” came to be south. Amusingly the estonians changed “edel” to mean southwest instead, so there was a funny switcharoo at some point.

Despite this the word for south and lunch don’t have correlation to each other, despite both deriving from the position of the sun. Finns and estonians just used the midday word and door word for slightly different things.
