ёндол
Erzya
Etymology
From Proto-Mordvinic *jondəl, traditionally considered a compound of a descendant of Proto-Finno-Permic [Finno-Volgaic] *juma (“god”) and Proto-Mordvinic *tol (“fire”). Alternatively, the first component is from Proto-Mordvinic *jon (“side”) or Proto-Uralic *ilma (“sky, weather, god”).
