molemmat
Finnish edit
Etymology edit
From Proto-Finnic *molëmbat, equivalent to mo- + -l(a/e)- + -mmat pl (comparative suffix). The initial component is the pronominal stem mo-, from Proto-Finnic *mo-. The nature of the middle component is uncertain, but may have a cognate in Eastern Mari моло (molo).
