Did you know the oldest form of Germanic, the Proto-Germanic is found only in Finnish as a substrate?
Swedish aka dansktunga is considered a later Danish dialect

No, sea is meri.
>From Proto-Finnic *meri,[1] borrowed from some Indo-European language (probably Proto-Balto-Slavic *mári),[2] ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *móri.
Proto-Germanic words are like kuningas(from kuningaz, konge in Danish)
and rengas(from rengaz, ringe in Danish)
without Finnish we wouldn't know much about Proto-Germanic

Yeah but before you borrow an indo European word, it is likely that the word for sea had something to do with the one for water does it not
