Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *aika. Cognate to Finnish aika, Ingrian aika, Livvi aigu, Ludian aig, Veps aig, Votic aikõ and Livonian āiga. Possibly from or akin to Proto-Germanic *aiwaz (compare Gothic 𐌰𐌹𐍅𐍃 (aiws, age, eternity), Old Norse ævi (lifetime), English aye). Another possibility is the borrowing from a Baltic language: compare Lithuanian eigà (gait, flow) or Latvian eja (passageway, tunnel) (from Lithuanian eĩti and Latvian iet respectively, both meaning 'to go').
