Unclear. Occasionally compared with Eastern Mansi (ajəw-), but this is highly dubious for phonetic reasons. The similarity to *uni is striking, but there is no regular derivational process that could explain *uni (*une-) → *uinu-.
Note: The Proto-Finnic conjugation system is yet to be reconstructed in detail. What is presented here is only one possibility. | ||||
