nuori
Finnish
Etymology
From Proto-Finnic *noori (“young”) (compare Estonian noor), probably from Proto-Uralic *ńëre (“moist, wet?”) (compare Northern Sami njuoras, Erzya and Moksha нар (nar, “weed, grass”), Udmurt [script needed] (ńur, “moist”), Mansi [script needed] (ńār), Hungarian nyirkos, Tundra Nenets [script needed] (nyer)). Proto-Samic *nuorë (whence Northern Sami nuorra) is likely borrowed from Finnic.[1][2]
