Reconstruction:Proto-Finnic/jäädäk

Etymology
urj-fin-pro. Rejected comparisons with (implying inheritance) and  (implying borrowing from Indo-Iranian), both on phonological and semantic grounds. The derivative ( < ? ) exhibiting a short initial vowel (instead of ) may imply that the word is at least from the Middle Proto-Finnic stage.

Verb

 * 1) to stay, to remain
