salava

salava

1. first/third-person singular imperfect indicative of salar

From Proto-Finnic *salaga, (compare dialectal salaja). Further origin unclear: possibly from Proto-Germanic *salhô (“willow”) (compare Swedish sälg, English sallow), or alternatively and less likely from Proto-Finno-Ugric *śala (“elm”) (compare Erzya селей (śeľej), Eastern Mari шол (šol), Hungarian szil). In either case, no cognates in the other Finnic languages are known.
