Disputed, possibly from Proto-Uralic. Two different comparisons have been proposed, both with their own problems:
Abondolo (1992) considers the latter comparison "slightly less unconvincing" (and considers hely (“place”) to be the Hungarian cognate to Samoyedic instead). Koivulehto (2001) however has etymologized the Finnic and Samic words for 'point' as early loans from Indo-European, unrelated to Hungarian.
