sarvi

From Proto-Finnic *sarvi (compare Estonian sarv), from Proto-Finno-Ugric *śarwe (compare Hungarian szarv), which in turn is a loan from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćr̥Hwa-, compare Avestan 𐬯𐬭𐬏‎ (srū, “horn, claw, talon”), 𐬯𐬭𐬎𐬎𐬁‎ (srvā, “horn”), Middle Persian slwb' (srū, “horn, nail”), Persian سرو‎ (surū, “animal horn”). Doublet of hirvi. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱerh₂-; see there for more.
