Proto-Finnic
Etymology
Unknown. Sometimes considered to be related to Northern Mansi (waś). Parpola (2017) notes a meaning 'womb' in some descendants and proposes early borrowing from Proto-Indo-Iranian *watsás (“calf”), whence also *vasa (“calf”). Holopainen (2019) rejects both of said etymologies. Any connection to Erzya вачо (vačo, “hungry”) is uncertain and the similarity may be coincidental.
