[riialist]

In Finnish we still use word "mesi", which is a synonym for honey. The word has the same meaning in Finno-ugric and Uralian languages still spoken in Siberia and Volga areas such as Mari and Udmurt - and Hungarian.

At least the Finnish etymologic dictionary says it's related to Aryan words, e.g. medhu in Sanskrit.
