Proto-Altaic: *sī̀pe
Meaning: swamped ground, swamp vegetation
Russian meaning: болотистая почва, болотная растительность
Comments: ТМС 2, 76, АПиПЯЯ 79. Despite Poppe 1966, 198, Doerfer MT 52, TM cannot be borrowed from Mong. The irregular voicing in Jpn. ( < PA *-p-) must be due to a confusion with a very similar root, *sìmpá ~ *símpá 'firewood' < PA *sắp`í; Jpn. dialects show a great deal of confusion between these two roots. altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-mong,altet-tung,altet-jap,altet-reference,
