Proto-Uralic

Reconstruction

No direct evidence for the 2nd syllable is found, and UEW considers a consonant-stem reconstruction *kojra to be also possible. *o in Samoyedic however suggests derivation from an unsyncopated form (Zhivlov 2014): the expected regular outcome of *kojra would be **kårå or **kåjrå.

Etymology

From *koje (“man, male”) +‎ *-ra.

Noun

*kojera

male animal
