In contrast, basic vocabulary – words such as "me", "hand", "water", and "be" – is much less readily borrowed between languages.

Advocates of a genetic relation between Indo-European and Uralic maintain that the borrowings can be filtered out by application of phonological and morphological analysis and that a core of
