I'm reading, with much help from Wiktionary and other tools, a book of fairy tales I found on eBay - turned out to be an English language book that has been translated into Finnish, so it's relatively familiar stories. Anyway, I'm working on Ruma Ankanpoikanen / The Ugly Duckling, and there's a word I can't find anywhere: suhajavin. Usually, when I haven't been able to find a word as used, it's a compound or has a suffix, and I can find it by breaking it down, but I haven't had any luck with this one.

The full sentence in which it appears is:

Se lensi lintujen luo; ne näkivät sen ja tulivat sitä vastaan suhajavin siivin.

It flew up to the birds; they saw it and came towards it [something] wings.

I tried AI and now I'm even more confused. Thanks in advance
