Etymology 1

From Proto-Finnic *uvëh (compare Karelian uvehavanto, Ludian ubehlähte, Veps ubehlähte). Ultimately derived from Proto-Uralic *uwa (“stream”) with the suffix +‎ -e, either as an irregular retention form (compare vuo, vuotaa) or based on a stem re-loaned from early Samic (compare old Southern Sami uwe (“stream”)).

Noun

uve

1. A hole in the ice of a lake or other body of water, created by water flowing from below the ice.

   Synonyms: uveavanto, uhkuavanto

   • 1859, August Ahlqvist, Muistelmia matkoilta Venäjällä vuosina 1854-1858, Viides kirja:

     Edellisten päivien leudot ilmat olivat vaikuttaneet sen, että Volgan jää oli syvän uve-veden vallassa – –

     The mild temperature of the previous days had had the effect of the ice on the Volga now being covered in deep water from the holes in it – –
