Attested only in the traditional Finno-Ugric group. No contrasting Proto-Samoyedic word for 'butter' is known either, however. A loan etymology from Indo-Iranian has been proposed (compare Sanskritआज्य(ājya, “melted butter for oblation”), from Proto-Indo-European*h₃engʷ-), but this runs into phonetic difficulties.
Reconstruction
Traditionally reconstructed as *woje. Finnic *voi however points to earlier *vooji (Sammallahti (1988) reconstructs *wooji already for Proto-Finno-Ugric), where per Aikio long *oo is in turn from original *a, confirmed also by Mokshaвай(vaj).
The meaning 'butter' has sometimes been considered anachronistic for Proto-Uralic or Proto-Finno-Ugric, and to represent a later development from earlier generic 'fat'. Häkkinen inversely suggests this word as part of evidence that Proto-Uralic was spoken late enough for its speakers to be at least familiar with agricultural products.
