surra

1. Da-infinitive of surema.

From Proto-Finnic *surdak (“to die”) (compare Estonian surema (“to die”)), from Proto-Uralic *śure- (“to die”). The modern meaning is by contamination from surku; the original meaning is still found in the derivative surma (“killing”). May also be related to Erzya сырьмай (siŕmaj, “death”).
