Etymology

The Finnic and Mari terms for ' god ' are usually considered to derive from a common Finno-Permic root * juma . Related terms have been proposed to be found also in the Mordvinic languages : ёндол [ what language is this? ] /jondol/ ' lightning ' , interpretable as an old compound meaning ' fire of Juma ' (cf. тол [ what language is this? ] /tol/ ' fire ' ). A single 17th-century source on Mordvinic moreover mentions Jumishipas as the name of a pre-Christian deity. The exact meaning of this however remains unclear (cf. ши [ what language is this? ] /ʃi/ ' sun ' , пас [ what language is this? ]
