Regular sound correspondences between Hungarian and other Uralic languages a different fashion. (Again, with the help of the other Uralic languages, the analogous developments *mp *ŋk → Hungarian /b g/, Finnic /mp ŋk/ could be supported.) Two different regular correspondences can be found in Hungarian for Finnish and Estonian . The first is Hungarian : The second is Hungarian zero: These two correspondences represent two different original consonants. : is reconstructed as originating in Proto-Uralic *ś, while ∅ : is reconstructed as Proto-Uralic *s. Both correspondences can be seen simultaneously in the word for "autumn" (see above under *-k-), from Proto-Uralic *sükśi. Examples also include 'bit', 'to fear', 'cloud',
Indo-Uralic languages resemblances seems uncomfortably high. The strongly divergent sound systems of Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Uralic are an aggravating factor both in the morphological and the lexical realm, making it additionally difficult to judge resemblances and interpret them as either borrowings, possible cognates or chance resemblances. A second type of evidence advanced in favor of an Indo-Uralic family is lexical. Numerous words in Indo-European and Uralic resemble each other (see list below). The problem is to weed out cognates due to borrowing. Uralic languages have been in contact with a succession of Indo-European languages for millennia. As a result, many words have been
