Proto-Samic edit
Etymology edit
Unknown. Has been compared with Tundra Nenets [script needed] (sormūŋk), Forest Nenets [script needed] (xirmuŋk), but in the absense of any other known Uralic cognates, the irregular vowel correspondence between the Nenets forms, and the competing common Samoyedic term тыра (tira) (from *tïrå), a relationship is unlikely. The word shows several points of similarity with *suormë (“finger”), but no derivational relationship is identifiable.
