Proto-Uralic
Alternative forms
- *mune
Etymology
Probably somehow related to (Northwestern) Proto-Indo-European *monogʰos (whence Proto-Germanic *managaz, Proto-Celtic *menekkis, Proto-Balto-Slavic *managas), which has sometimes been considered a substrate loan. The Uralic word is possibly from the same source, and if so, possibly borrowed through Indo-European.
Usage notes
This word can only be safely reconstructed to Proto-Finno-Permic, unless the Ugric descendants are related (alternatively, they and the Permic "-ty" may represent a separate root).
Descendants
- ⇒ Proto-Permic: *mu̇nda
- Proto-Samic:
- Northern Sami: moanat
- Proto-Finnic: *moni (see there for further descendants)
Uncertain (may be a separate root):
