Proto-Finnic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]In some fashion from Proto-Indo-European *séh₂ls (compare e.g. Latvian sāls, Tocharian A sāle), though the exact route of derivation is not known. According to Jakob (2023), probably from Baltic.[1] The long vowel indicates borrowing independently from the words in more eastern Uralic languages, such as Erzya сал (sal), Komi-Zyrian сол (sol). Earlier accounts have suggested a common proto-form *salɜ and irregular vowel lengthening in Finnic.[2]
