The normal forms in ol- derive from Proto-Finnic oldak, from Proto-Uralic wole-. Cognates include Estonian olema, Hungarian volt. The forms on and ovat are probably from the same root as oma (and possibly olla, if a frequentative derivation of that root). Cognates are found in Karelian on, Livonian um, Veps om, Votic on, Hungarian van, Võro om/um and ommaq/ummaq. ovat further likely has the standard 3rd person plural -vat in the ending, but could originate from earlier omat, with the plural suffix -t. The potential forms in lie- derive from Proto-Finnic leedäk, from Proto-Uralic le- (“to become”). Cognate with Karelian lienöy, Livonian līdõ, Veps linda, Hungarian lenni/legyek, Northern Sami leat.
