'has to be compared with' is utterly ambiguous. Do you mean loans or
are you establishing cognates here? In either case you have to
postulate a lot of speculative presuppositions.

I don't think "has to be" is ambiguous.
Whatever the status of Uralic word *nohu "woman"
when it comes to Sino-Tibetan or Salish,
the structure of Uralic is nicely exhibited
by all the other words.
And this refutes any connection between nohu
and PIE guneH2.

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

So what ?
Finnish e and Moksha i correspond.
These languages are close relatives.
I'd be grateful if you add meanings to the words.
It means "nest"

Now again we are discussing European languages, like Finno-Permic and
PIE. What has China and Eastern Eurasia to with it? Pseudoscience is
forbidden by the rules of the forum.

Uralic originates in Western Siberia
Most probably from the Ob and Ienissei Basin.
Do you deny this obvious fact ?
Finnish kesä "summer"
Moksha kiza
Turkish kizdirmak "hot"
Finnish pesä "nest"
Moksha piza
Tungus pubi "nest"
It's not pseudo-science.
