Etymology[edit]

According to Feoktistov, from a Turkic language.[1] Veršinin considers suggestions of borrowing completely baseless, he is convinced that the term is of child language origin (its original meaning being "mother"), according to him, the following are of a similar origin: Eastern Mari ава (ava), Western Mari ӓвӓ (ävä), cf. dialectal Eastern Mari аппа! (appa!, [an exclamation for a baby to smile]), Tundra Nenets [script needed] (āppa, mother [child language]). Parallel developments in unrelated languages: Selkup ама (mother), Basque ama (id.), Nivkh ымык (əmək, id.), Koryak [script needed] (-aw'-) in [script needed] (ŋaw'gyjnik, female [animal]).[2]
