From Proto-Mordvinic *viŕə~*viŕä, cognate with Moksha вирь (viŕ). Possibly a doublet of Erzya вере (veŕe, “up”), which is from Proto-Uralic *wäre with cognates including Estonian veer (“edge”), Finnish vieri (“side”),[1] Lule Sami vierra, Northern Sami vierra (“ridge”).[2]
Alternatively, from Early Proto-Mordvinic *vēri, borrowed from Proto-Baltic *vēr-i/e- (compare Latvian vēris, vēre (“a big forest, a big deciduous forest”)).[3]
