"küünel" meaning in Proto-Finnic

See küünel in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: From Proto-Uralic *küńele. The long vowel is unexpected, but has been explained as being from earlier *küinel, where the diphthong would have originated from the influence of the original palatal nasal. Cognates include Proto-Samic *këńël.
