• B. A. Serebrennikov, R. N. Buzakova, M. V. Mosin (1993) “лия”, in Эрзянь-рузонь валкс [Erzya-Russian dictionary], Moscow: Русский язык, →ISBN

From Proto-Mordvinic *lijä (*lijə), possibly from Pre-Mordvinic *lika~*līka, borrowed from Proto-Baltic (compare Latvian lieks (“too much, extra, unnecessary”), Lithuanian liẽkas (“odd, extra, too much”)). Despite the similarity between the Mordvinic word and Finnish liika (“too much; odd”) with cognates in all other Finnic languages, the etymological dictionaries have not considered the Finnic and Mordvinic words as etymological cognates.^[1]

• IPA^(key): /lʲiˈjæ/
