Proto-Finnic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from Proto-Indo-Iranian *mr̥tás (“dead”), from Proto-Indo-European *mr̥tós.
Adjective
[edit]*mardas
Usage notes
[edit]May have been used to form a compound noun meaning "epidermis", though the precise formation is unrecoverable. Compare e.g. Estonian marrask, Finnish marraskesi, Ingrian marraskettu, Karelian marrasnahka, Ludian mardaznahk, Livonian mǭrdugnǭ'g (the second component being variably from *keci, *këttu, *nahka).
