Reconstruction:Proto-Uralic/ade-

This Proto-Uralic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Often reconstructed, on the basis of the Sami and Mordvinic evidence, as *oda-. Aikio (2013) has argued that the reconstruction *ade- better accounts for the Ugric descendants, and that a regular sound change *a-e > *o-a has taken place in the former two.
