Like Slavic languages, this Cernelian noun is suppletive. The singular forms derives from Proto-Finnic *inhiminen, while plural forms derives from a lost Proto-Finnic loan from Balto-Slavic *lauti, mimicking the Slavic usage and became the plural form of iniemnię. The suffix originally attached to this noun, -nię (← Proto-Finnic -inen) is also suppletive etymologically, see below.
