Erzya

edit
 
Вирь.

Etymology

edit

From Proto-Mordvinic *viŕə~*viŕä, cognate with Moksha вирь (viŕ). Possibly a doublet of Erzya вере (veŕe, up), which is from Proto-Uralic *wäre with cognates including Estonian veer (edge), Finnish vieri (side),[1] Lule Sami vierra, Northern Sami vierra (ridge).[2]

Alternatively, from Early Proto-Mordvinic *vēri, borrowed from Proto-Baltic *vēr-i/e- (compare Latvian vēris, vēre (a big forest, a big deciduous forest)).[3]
