And yaris? Today before I saw your post I thought to ask you about if
NSM "this" corresponds to yarstik/yarstis, yarik/yaris, yarsik/yarsis,
or yartik/yartis. What do you think? I guess yarik/yaris since you
wrote that.


Actually, "yaris" is the noun form of "yarik", but the NSM form seems to be more adjective than noun.
In any case, I think both "yarik" and "yaris" match NSM "this".  The part of speech isn't that important in NSM.
