Proto-Finnic
Etymology
Borrowed from Proto-Germanic *arbaz (whence Old Norse arfr, Swedish arv). The original sense in Proto-Finnic may have been "(one's) part, share".[1] Alternatively, the meaning adjoins the concept in the Germanic inheritance system in which property was allotted by drawing lots, cf. Swedish arv in this sense.
Cognate with Proto-Samic *vuorpē.
Noun
*arpa[2]
- lot (e.g. dice)
- fate
