I'll help you out again, I thought Moksha was your home turf?:

*mün,ä- `with (after, behind)' (Mk me-l'ä 'later, after that, then')
(Mk me-ki 'back, again, backwards')

*n'üktä `pluck, rip, harvest linen' (Mk n'eft'@ms id.)

*süli `lap' (Mk s'el' 'fathom')

*üli `over, above' (Mk vel'f 'beyond; through, by, over above'
Mk vel'd'ä 'through, by')

There are a dozen more languages to fit the data. Sometimes Finnish
is the odd man out, sometimes Moksha, each on its turn.
