Usage notes
May have been used to form a compound noun meaning "epidermis", though the precise formation is unrecoverable. Compare e.g. Estonian marrask, Finnish marraskesi, Ingrian marraskettu, Karelian marrasnahka, Ludian mardaznahk, Livonian mǭrdugnǭ'g (the second component being variably from *keci, *kettu, *nahka).
