Etymology
et ine-pro *h₁reh₁- row
From archaic et roots Swede, from et urj-fin-pro *roocci Kallio, Petri: The Diversification of Proto-Finnic Joonas Ahola & Frog (eds.), Fibula, Fabula, Fact: The Viking Age in Finland, pp. 155-168. Studia Fennica Historica 18 (2014) (around 8th-9th century AD; very late, possibly even post-Proto-Finnic). The word is ultimately from et non róðr steering oar, from et gem-pro *rōþrą rudder, from et ine-pro *h₁reh₁- to row row.
Finnic cognates include fi Ruotsi, olo Ruočči (Lutheran) Finland, vep Ročinma and vro Roodsi. orv Русь (whence gkm Ρωσσία), the original form of the endonym of Russians that originally referred to a tribe of Varangians, is borrowed from Finnic.
