Proto-Finnic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From earlier *kečrä, borrowed from early Indo-Iranian *ketstram (whence Sanskrit चात्त्र (cāttra), from *čatstram). The same word has been borrowed also to other Uralic languages: Proto-Samic *kearsē, Erzya шчире (ščiŕe), Moksha кштирь (kšťiŕ), Eastern Mari шӱдыр (šüdyr).
Reconstruction
[edit]Over the 20th century often reconstructed as *kešträ or *kesträ (compare also *acraga, *icra, *ocra). Reconstruction of this word group with an affricate has been first suggested by Äimä (1921), and is defended by Kallio (2012: 230–231) on the grounds that early Proto-Finnic did not allow clusters of three or more consonants.
