акша

See also: ақша

Moksha

Etymology 1

Cognate with Erzya ашо (ašo); SKES 45a tentatively suggests a possible link with Finnish ahka, hahkea, haahkea [sic haahka], Estonian ahka (eider) [sic hahk], ahk (gray), Eastern Mari ошо, ошы (ošo, ošə), Khanty аш (, white clay, chalk); UEW 3[1] suggests Proto-Finno-Ugric *ačka (white); Veršinin considers linking with Tatar ак (aq, white) impossible.[2]
