Could the Finnish word for "hair" possibly be related to Hungarian haj? Dragonman9001 (talk) 11:45, 5 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

They are not related according to Uralonet. Panda10 (talk) 14:27, 5 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Finnic word-initial /h/ (natively from *š) is entirely unrelated to Hungarian word-initial /h/ (natively from *k). As it happens these two words have clearly distinct cognates in Sami: vuokta versus guodja. --Tropylium (talk) 20:46, 5 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
