Proto-Finnic
Etymology
From Proto-Finno-Permic *pišä. Cognate with Proto-Samic *pësē (“sacred”), probably also Erzya пежеть (pežetʹ, “sin”), Moksha пеже (peže, “sin”), Komi пеж (pež, “unholy, heathen, dirty”) and Udmurt пож (pož, “dirty, foul”). Derivation from Proto-Germanic has been proposed (compare German weihen (“to consecrate”), from earlier *wīhaną), but this is difficult to reconcile with the Mordvinic and Permic cognates.
