DEATH
The Indo-European DEATH GOD stays in a straight connection to this word.
In some languages the essence of this word shifted from "death" to "human, man" simply put "a mortal" or "a person destined to die".
There could be a strong connection between a word for the "sea" and death. It would explain all the boat burials among Germanic and Slavic peoples.
Sanskrit "नाव्य (nāvyá)" meaning "boatable, navigable" and Slavic "Navya" meaning "Underworld, Land of the Dead" could suggest that to get there you had to use a boat and travel through the waters of the dead.
The general connection is this:
wood = log = dead tree ⇒ ship made out of wood / dead body similar to hard dead wood ⇒ death ⇒ the sea as a place connected to dead people.
Vellamo (Wellamo) is the goddess of water, lakes and seas in Finnish mythology. She has magical cows that live on underwater fields. Slavic god connected to death namely Veles was also said to own many cows that he walked with on the fields and meadows. Could then those fields or meadows be underwater?
Lithuanian "vėlė" is a spirit of a dead human = a ghost. It was said that these spirits were transparent as fog, yet soft as wool to the touch. Upon death, the soul separates from the body and does not return to it. It does not die with the body, but loses its individuality. The vėlė had to cross over to the realm of the vėlė.
Maybe the last scene of Kalevala is the best poetic representation of this custom as Väinämöinen ascends in his ship (navis) into heaven or the other world. Could then this scene be a portrayal of Väinämöinen's death?
