The original is g´neh2- as behind greek gune: and sanskrit gná:
Jouppe

I disagree with the strongest force.

PU *nohu "woman" has nothing to do with PIE *gw_n
and has to be compared with :
Sino-tibetan noh "woman"
Chinese nü3 "woman"
Tibetan mnah "a bride"
and you can see that Salish has *nexw "woman"

Refuted.

The word 'kesä' is not PU but western Finno-Permic (cf. Saami gaesse,
Ersä-Mordvinic 'kize', no udmurt here). Turkish has of course nothing
to do with Finno-Permic.

=============

The reconstruction like pseudo-Finnish kesä is worse than bad.
Moksha is kiza : impossibly derivable from this thing **kesä

This word can be compared with Chinese xia4 "summer"

The root *g_ts "hot" > "summer" is widely attested
in all eastern Eurasia.
