е̄внэшш

Kildin Sami

Etymology

(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)

  • The origin of this form is not perfectly transparent. The affix -эшш is rather uncommon for Kildin, and might point out on borrowing from a neighbouring Sami language (compare Skolt Sami eeunaž and Akkala Sami эуныш (eunyš)).
  • Itkonen's dictionary gives the form я̄внэнч,[1][2] which, unlike е̄внэшш, is expected, given the Proto-Samic form.

In any case, ultimately derives from Proto-Samic *(h)eavnē. Compare Northern Sami heavdni.
