Indeed, Hill Mari šar does fit perfectly as the reflex of *ćara-. But is it really clear that the same stem šar- occurs in *šargeńćǝ ‘louse eggs’ (can *-geń- really be segmented as a suffix […]

Regarding (1), I do not quite follow how Russian ненавидеть ‘to hate’ could suggest a similar etymology for Mari *už-ed-: as you say, the suffix *-ed- does not express any kind of negatio […]
