лия
Moksha
Etymology
Veršinin considers this term evidently connected with иля (ilja, “other, different”), the latter being the original form, the root и- (i-) is of the same origin as исень (isenʹ, “of yesterday [adjective]”) and ичкозе (ičkoze, “far”), э- (e-) in Erzya эзк (ezk, “close, next to”), эське (esʹke, “last time”), he compares -э- in Tundra Nenets [script needed] (ŋeli, “other, different”), [script needed] (ŋelimź, “to become different”), Udmurt иськан (isʹkan, “close female friend, close relative”) and Eastern Mari (в)е- ((v)je-) in вес(е) (ves(je), “other”) (where в- (v-) might be a secondary development.) In relation to the last ones, he also compares Proto-Turkic [Term?] (eš, “friend”).
In the Erzya word иля (ilja, “don't [imperative of negation verb]”) Veršinin sees shifting of meaning from "that (one)" → "not (that one)," where the и- (i-) originally has been a demonstrative component, the same as in the Moksha term.[1]
