"hurma" meaning in Proto-Finnic

See hurma in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Unknown origin. The Estonian reflex has been compared with words in Samic and Mordvinic (e.g. Erzya орма (orma, “disease”)) that would, however, require h- as attested in Northern Finnic to be secondary. Contamination from Finnish huuma may be possible. EVE suggests that the word could be a derivation from *huristak (“to hum, whirr”), thus originally meaning "humming, whirring", with a later possible semantic shift to "whirl, vortex". This would make the Livonian descendant closest to the original meaning. The meaning "blood" would be developed by ellipsis from *vërën hurma (literally “flow of blood”), while the meaning "ecstasy, excitement, charm" would refer to how such emotions 'make one's head spin'.
