Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *śámas, cognate to Latvian sams, Lithuanian šãmas, further etymology unknown, therefore probably borrowed from a non-Indo-European substrate, possibly shared with Ancient Greek καμασήν (kamasḗn, “kind of fish”); alternatively perhaps a corrupted borrowing from Uralic, such as Proto-Finnic *sampi (“sturgeon”).
