пелемс
Moksha
Etymology
Ultimately from Proto-Uralic *pele-. Cognates include Finnish pelätä, Northern Sami ballat, Hungarian fél.[1]
Veršinin is unsure whether development from пяль (pjalʹ, “half; side”) is possible, he wonders if the meaning could have changed from "side" to "step aside; avoid; fear."[2]
Pronunciation
IPA(key): /pʲelʲəms/
