Moksha

Etymology

According to Feoktistov, from a Turkic language.[1] Veršinin considers suggestions of borrowing completely baseless, he is convinced that the term is of child language origin (its original meaning being "mother"), according to him, the following are of a similar origin: Eastern Mari ава (ava), Western Mari ӓвӓ (ävä), c.f., dialectal Eastern Mari аппа! (appa!, “[an exclamation for a baby to smile]”), Tundra Nenets [script needed] (āppa, “mother [child language]”). Parallel developments in unrelated languages: Selkup ама (“mother”), Basque ama (“id.”), Nivkh ымык (əmək, “id.”), Koryak [script needed] (-aw'-) in [script needed] (ŋaw'gyjnik, “female [animal]”).[2]
