Hungarian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Ugric *üräŋɜ (“big, old”), whence also Proto-Khanty *ürǝɣ (> Northern Khanty ар (ar, “much, many”)) and Proto-Mansi *ärǝɣ (> Northern Mansi арыг (aryg, “extra, excess”)), derived from Proto-Uralic *ürä- (“big, old”) (whence Proto-Samoyedic *iräj (“grandfather”)).[1] Alternatively, and less likely, from a Turkic language. Compare Turkish iri, Erzya сыре (sïre).
