Proto-Finnic

Etymology

Probably from Proto-Uralic, although the exact morphology is still not entirely agreed upon. According to Janhunen (2007), perhaps derived (with *-tädäk) from Proto-Uralic *pVxe- (compare Tundra Nenets [script needed] (pyu-));[1] another theory proposes derivation from *püü (hazel grouse) +‎ *-tädäk.[2]

Earlier suggested to derive from Proto-Uralic *püwtä- (based on comparisons with Samoyedic words like Tundra Nenets [script needed] (pīd́e-)), but these comparisons have been rejected.

Verb

*püütädäk (stem *püütä-)[3]

  1. to catch (fish)
