Reconstruction:Proto-Uralic/mone
Proto-Uralic edit
Alternative forms edit
Etymology edit
Probably somehow related to (Northwestern) Proto-Indo-European *monogʰos (whence Proto-Germanic *managaz, Proto-Celtic *menekkis, Proto-Balto-Slavic *managas), which has sometimes been considered a substrate loan. The Uralic word is possibly from the same source, and if so, possibly borrowed through Indo-European.
Pronoun edit
*mone
Numeral edit
*-mone
- ? -ty
Usage notes edit
This word can only be safely reconstructed to Proto-Finno-Permic, unless the Ugric descendants are related (alternatively, they and the Permic "-ty" may represent a separate root).
Descendants edit
- ⇒ Proto-Permic: *mu̇nda
- Proto-Samic:
- Northern Sami: moanat
- Proto-Finnic: *moni (see there for further descendants)
Uncertain (may be a separate root):
- >? Proto-Permic: *-mu̇n (“-ty”)
- Ugric:
