варма

Erzya

Etymology

From Proto-Mordvinic *varma (*var- +‎ *-ma), ultimately from onomatopoeic root. Compare Finnish myr- in myrsky (“storm”), dialectal Finnish varma (“robust, sturdy, strong”) and Estonian varm, varmas (“rapid, prompt; brisk, lively, breezy”).

Alternatively, from Proto-Finno-Ugric *wɨrV (“to blow; rage, storm”).[1]
