Moksha

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

According to SKES, related to Moksha ине (ine, “great”), which is from Proto-Uralic *enä (“large, big”) and cognate with Finnish enin (“the biggest”), Estonian enam (“more”), Livonian jennõ (“a lot”)).

Alternatively, borrowed from a Turkic language, compare Tatar ин (in).[1] Veršinin notes resemblance with Eastern Mari эн (en, “id.”) usually considered a Turkic borrowing.[2]
