Proto-Uralic[edit]

Reconstruction[edit]

No direct evidence for the 2nd syllable is found, and UEW considers a consonant-stem reconstruction *kojra to be also possible. *o in Samoyedic however suggests derivation from an unsyncopated form (Zhivlov 2014): the expected regular outcome of *kojra would be **kårå or **kåjrå.

Etymology[edit]

From *koje (man, male) +‎ *-ra.

Noun[edit]

*kojera

  1. male animal
