арсемс
Erzya
editEtymology
editFrom Proto-Mordvinic *arśəms, possibly derived from Proto-Finno-Ugric *arwa (“price, value”). Compare Finnish arvo (“value”), arvata (“to guess”), Estonian aru (“reason”), arvama (“to believe, assume, think”), Hungarian ár (“price”).
Ultimately borrowed from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hargʰás (“price, worth, value”), whence Sanskrit अर्घ (argha, “worth, value”).
