The Permic languages are hardly alone in containing some words the origin, form and meaning of which have emerged as the result of researcher mistakes. Having thus appeared by mistake and/or, for various other reasons, having received a non-primordial phonetic form, they start living their own life, possibly suggesting some curious linguistic decisions to some theorists and pragmatists. 1. The Udmurt word sodzjam ’a handful of flax’, for example, etymologically associated with the Komi sodz ’handful’ actually appeared in this phonetic form as one of the manuscripts of the 18th century was misread by a researcher. 2. The ”Odyssey” of the Udmurt -kudyr- ’beaver’ (B. Munkácsi) > (a) kudyri ’curly’ (Komi *kudyri) or (b) ku dur ’fur edging’ has also been caused by some inaccuracy on the part of Udmurt philologists.
