Reconstruction

[edit]

The word can only be reliably reconstructed to Finno-Samic/Western Uralic. Hungarian szép is not a certain descendant due to the semantic gap, and an alternative Turkic etymology for it has also been proposed.[1]

Adjective

[edit]

*śeppä

  1. skilled

Descendants

[edit]
  • Ugric:
    • Hungarian: szép
  • Proto-Samic: *čeappē (see there for further descendants)
  • Proto-Finnic: *seppä (see there for further descendants)
