Proto-Uralic

Etymology

Most likely borrowed from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćr̥Hwás (horn). Ob-Ugric reflexes meaning “bull elk” have sometimes been included, but they may also be separate loans from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćarHabʰás (horned animal), cf. Sanskrit शरभ (śarabhá). May have replaced *aŋte (horn) in all European branches, unless this is an areal Siberian term.

Noun

*śarwe

  1. antler, horn
    Synonym: *aŋte
