Proto-Finnic

Etymology

Possibly borrowed from Indo-Iranian (whence Sanskrit शम्यति (śamyati), शाम्यति (śāmyati, to be extinguished, die out, abate, cease, stop, go to rest, be calm or quiet)),[1] but this has been fairly convincingly rejected.[2] An alternative posits a borrowing from Proto-Germanic *stammijaną, but this is likewise uncertain.

Verb

*sambudak (stem *sambu-)

  1. (of fire) to go out
