This Proto-Uralic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

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.

Pronoun

*mone

  1. some
  2. many

Numeral

*-mone

  1.  ? -ty

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):

  • >? Proto-Permic: *-mu̇n (-ty)
    • Komi-Zyrian: комын (komyn)
    • Udmurt: куамын (kuamyn)
  • Ugric:
    • Mansi:
      • >? Northern Mansi: -ман (-man, -ty), -пан (-pan) (in налыман (nalyman, forty), атпан (atpan, fifty), хōтпан (hōtpan, sixty), сатпан (satpan, seventy))
    • >? Hungarian: -van (-ty), -ven (in negyven (forty), ötven (fifty), hatvan (sixty), hetven (seventy), nyolcvan (eighty), kilencven (ninety))
