Commentary

The Hungarian word is an old derivative: according to UEW the Mansi word is also "possibly" a derivative, but the origin and function of the possible derivational elements is unclear ("wog. k und χ sind möglicherweise ebenfalls Ableitungssuffixe"). Due to the unclear history of the Mansi word, the etymology remains unclear. The vowel-relations between Hungarian and Mansi are formally possible.
