Probably from Proto-Finno-Permic *uppa/*wuppa (“suffocating”) (whence Erzya опамомс (opamoms, “to suffocate”)) with semantic development "to suffocate" > "to drown" > "to sink", with the suffix *-ot'ak. The sense "to suffocate" survives in Karelian upehtuo and Veps upehtuda.[1]
Note: The Proto-Finnic conjugation system is yet to be reconstructed in detail. What is presented here is only one possibility. | ||||
