Proto-Finnic

Etymology

Unclear. Commonly suspected to derive from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: 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. in some fashion, but no clear source has been found. Metathesis from earlier Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: 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. has been suggested, with a possible parallel in Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: 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.), which would then be borrowed from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: 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.. LÄGLOS remains skeptical about the possibility.

Has been compared earlier also with Danish hoppe (adult female horse), Old Norse hoppa (from Proto-Germanic *huppōną), or with Mari, Komi-Zyrian чань (ćań, foal), Udmurt чуньы (ćuńy, foal) but since 1950 these have been considered phonetically untenable. The Komi and Udmurt words are possibly rather cognate with Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: 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..
