"meccä" meaning in Proto-Finnic

See meccä in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Probably borrowed from Proto-Baltic *medjas (whence Lithuanian mẽdžias (“forest”), Latvian mežs (“forest”) and Latgalian mežs (“forest”). The term was apparently borrowed during the time of the split of South Estonian and Livonian from the rest of Finnic, as the former group borrowed it with back vowel harmony, whereas the latter group has front vowel harmony. Alternatively from Proto-Finno-Ugric *mećä, *meććä (“edge, periphery”), compare Hungarian messze (“far”).

The term was apparently borrowed during the time of the split of South Estonian and Livonian from the rest of Finnic, as the former group borrowed it with back vowel harmony, whereas the latter group has front vowel harmony.\nAlternatively from Proto-Finno-Ugric *mećä, *meććä (“edge, periphery”), compare Hungarian messze (“far”).",
