Etymology
The initial element ӧ- (аб- in Komi-Zyrian) is related to Finnish epä-, Estonian eba- and Moksha аф (af). The latter element -вӧл ultimately derives from Proto-Permic *vɔ̇lni (“to be”), from Proto-Uralic *wole- (“to be, exist”).
Permic cognates include Komi-Zyrian абу (abu) and Komi-Permyak абу (abu).
