лия
Moksha
Etymology
Veršinin considers this term evidently connected with иля (iľa, “other, different”), the latter being the original form, the root и- (i-) is of the same origin as исень (iśeń, “of yesterday [adjective]”) and ичкозе (ičkoźe, “far”), э- (e-) in Erzya эзк (ezk, “close, next to”), эське (eśke, “last time”), he compares -э- (-e-) in Tundra Nenets [script needed] (ŋeli, “other, different”), [script needed] (ŋelimź, “to become different”), Udmurt иськан (iśkan, “close female friend, close relative”) and (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Lua error in Module:parameters at line 291: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "chm" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. (в)е- ((v)e-) in Lua error in Module:parameters at line 291: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "chm" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. (where Lua error in Module:parameters at line 291: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "chm" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. might be a secondary development.) In relation to the last ones, he also compares Proto-Turkic [Term?] (eš, “friend”).
In the (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Erzya word иля (iľa, “don't [imperative of negation verb]”) Veršinin sees shifting of meaning from "that (one)" → "not (that one)," where the и- (i-) originally has been a demonstrative component, the same as in the Moksha term.[1]
