Proto-Finnic

Etymology

From Proto-Finno-Permic *šamᴈ. Cognate with Erzya чов (čov), човонэ (čovone) and Moksha шов (šov). Possibly related to Proto-Germanic *hamaraz; both directions of loan, from and into Proto-Germanic, have been proposed. Hyllested speculates on an Indo-European source related to Proto-Balto-Slavic *kā́ˀmō but with regular satemization (compare the survival of doublets like Lithuanian akmuõ, ašmuõ). Alternatively, the Finno-Permic/West Uralic could derive from the Pre-West Uralic agricultural substrate.

Noun

*hamara[1]

  1. poll, butt (part of the head of an axe)
  2. spine, back (of a knife)
