müüma

From Proto-Finnic *müüdäk, *möödäk, from Proto-Uralic *mixe- (“to give”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂mey-gw-. Cognate with Finnish myydä, Veps möda, Võro müümä. The Proto-Finnic origin is unclear, as reflexes of both -üü- and -öö- are found. The Finnish and Estonian forms point to -üü-, but the alternative Finnish form myödä reflects -öö-, as does the Veps form. The Võro form could reflect either, as the two vowels merge in that language.
