Proto-Finnic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]*tërva + *-ëh. The traditional derivation from *tërva (“tar, tarry wood”) is unlikely due to semantically weak explanation. More likely is a very old loan from Indo-Iranian, in which case it has the same origin as Avestan 𐬛𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬎𐬎𐬁 (dərəuuā, “healthy”).[1]
Adjective
