Proto-Finnic
[edit]Alternative reconstructions
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Perhaps derived from*asëdak(“to live”)(potentially with +*-ja) and ultimately fromProto-Uralic*ëśe-.Alternatively possibly:
- Derivative from aProto-Uralicroot*ate+*-ja(implying*acja), compareEastern Khantyот(ot).
- Borrowing fromProto-Germanic*(uz)andiją(implying*acja), for which there appears to be little evidence however; the proposed descendantSwedishärende(“task, errand”)is fromProto-Germanic*airundiją.
- As per Vershinin, relation toErzyaазкс(azks,“story”)(fromазомс(azoms,“to offer; tell; curse; promise”)),[1]which is not compatible with any of these.
Noun
