Etymology
From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: Parameter 2 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "fiu-fin-pro" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. (stem Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "fiu-fin-pro" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E.), from Proto-Uralic *-me-. Related to Estonian -nema, -neda and Veps -eta. The stem has been reworked considerably in some forms.
The change *m > *n is likely by analogy with the passive and participle stems, as well as the causative -ntaa and its potential ancestors, where the added *-t- incurred a regular *mt > *nt. This change was then generalized to other forms. The vowel change (to -e-) to the preceding stem vowel is probably the same as seen with the comparative ending (see -mpi).
In Northern Finnic, the stem, when followed by a *t (such as in the passive forms and the first infinitive), has been reformed to *-et'-. The reason for this is not fully known. This may have happened through *-ntt-; the *-n- would have been lost through simplification of the then phonotactically impossible cluster *-nt-t- (compare kattaa < kansi), but this still leaves the origin of *-t(t)- an open question. Alternatively, the ending may have been taken by analogy from verbs like Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "fiu-fin-pro" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. and Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "fiu-fin-pro" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. to avoid an unwieldy -nna infinitive ending when attached to polysyllabic stems.
