акша

See also: ақша

Moksha

Etymology 1

Cognate with Erzya ашо (ašo); SKES 45a tentatively suggests a possible link with Finnish ahka, hahkea, haahkea [sic haahka], Estonian ahka (“eider”) [sic hahk], ahk (“gray”), Eastern Mari ошо, ошы (ošo, ošə), Khanty аш (aš, “white clay, chalk”); UEW 3[1] suggests Proto-Finno-Ugric *ačka (“white”); Veršinin considers linking with Tatar ак (aq, “white”) impossible.[2]

акша • (akša) (comp. сяда / сядонга акша (sjada / sjadonga akša), sup. инь / сембода акша (inʹ / semboda akša))
