Proto-Tungus-Manchu: *taK(V)
Altaic etymology: Altaic etymology
Meaning: salt, bitter substance
Russian meaning: соль, горькое вещество
Even: taq
Negidal: daksun
Literary Manchu: taqan 'mustard'
Oroch: daksu
Comments: See ТМС 1, 186 (where for the most part Mongolian borrowings are presented), 2, 153. In Negidal and Oroch the initial d- should be apparently explained by Mongolian influence (although the forms cannot be actual Mongolisms because of medial -k-).
