Summary/Abstract: The article contains new etymological suggestions for several Balto-Finnic words that have no external parallels according to the most complete etymological dictionaries of the Balto-Finnic languages or, in the same sources, are considered as Germanic borrowings. In all cases under consideration, involving Balto-Finnic material in Uralic comparison turns out to be possible with taking into account some Ugric or Samoyedic data.
