Proto-Finnic

Etymology

Of disputed origin.

• Possibly borrowed from another language, but which source is correct is not certain:
  • Proto-Baltic *talˀa-; compare Old Prussian talas and the latter component of Lithuanian pãtalas.
  • Proto-Indo-Iranian *tálas; compare Sanskrit तल (tala).
  • Proto-Germanic *stallaz; compare Old Norse stallr, English stall (the least likely due to **-ll- being expected, not *-l-)
• Alternatively from Proto-Finno-Permic *tala. Compare Udmurt тылыс (tylys).

In any of these cases, the stem *tala(s)- was then further derived with +‎ *-oi.
