I hope I have not been unclear:
all Proto-Uralic stems are disyllabic, i/ï-stems as well as a/ä-stems.
Jouppe.
===========
No
PU had CvC words.
like
*nol "bow"

These words with no final vowel
regularly become Cv in Permic.
Finnish added -i because it does not allow
CvC words.

=================
'jüvä-' is a plain PU stem. There has never been *jevo- which would
violate two absloute phonotactic rules in PU: no word stem ends in -o
and *e never occurs with a back vowel.

Jouppe
=================
Wrong

Summer is "gitso"
Nail is "gudmitsho"
