This is not what my homepage states for moth. The direction of
borrowing is there the "normal" one, only in the west it has been
from Finnic to Gmc.

You have Early Proto-Iranian => Pre-Finnic > Proto-Saami => Gmc.
('=>' stands for borrowing '>' for sound development)
Finnish mato is a follower of Pre-Finnic as well, but not the
original for the germanic borrowing.

But for those of you who read Finnish you will find a suggested, but
this time uncertain, borrowing into Pre-Aryan from Uralic. See page 7
