Comments:ССЕ 295. Final -k in Pumpokol is just like in eg 'sky' < *ʔes q.v. Werner 1, 268 doubts the etymology, saying that es could be a misrecording of īś 'fish' - which, however, was recorded in the same sources as is. The Pump. form is compared (Werner 1, 312) with Ket qāq 'елец' (see *qaq), which is also dubious - we would expect k- or x- in Pumpokol.
Kottish:ēga, *ēgä, g. ēgei, pl. ēgaŋ; (Бол.) ega; Ass. ö́ga (М., Сл., Срсл., Кл.), éga (Кл.); Kam. igɨ (Стр.), Koib. ega (Мес., П.)
Arin:éga (Кл.), éja (М., Сл., Срсл.), ega (Лоск.)
Pumpokol:hixem (Сл., Срсл., Кл.)
Comments:ССЕ 296. Obviously related to *xiʔG 'day' q.v. Werner 1, 392 <*(h)egǝ> (but Ar. xagalɨ 'sun', recorded by Strahlenberg, rather reflects *χōŋ- 'day' q.v.).
Proto-Yenisseian:*xim
Meaning:small, little
Ket:im-da5 "small (to cut small, etc.)"; īm-git1, im-git5 (pl. īm-dǝŋ, im-dǝŋ5) "dwarf"; im-da, (North.) im-śa '(to grow) thickly, densely' ( = 'closely, at small distance')
Comments:ССЕ 193. Werner 1, 362-363, 407. Identifying the root with *ʔim 'nut' (as Werner does) is possible, but by no means necessary, and may well be a folk etymology. In particular, the analysis of īm-git 'dwarf' (lit. 'small man') as 'nut-man' appears rather far-fetched.
Ket:ūŋ 'to sit, sit down'; cf. also ɔŋ-nǝś5 'bed'
Yug:uŋ 'to sit, sit down'; cf. also ɔŋ-tɨt́ 'to set'
Kottish:uŋ "sitting, living"; d́-auja-ŋ "to sit, live", praet. al-auja-ŋ, imp. aĺek; (Бол.) jan "I sit, live"
Arin:akum (Лоск.) "I sit"; akume "I live"
Comments:ССЕ 297. The final -ŋ is a historical suffix, as seen from the Kottish paradigm; Werner's (2, 380) reluctance to admit the connection between Kott. uŋ and Kott. d́-auja-ŋ appears completely unjustified.
Proto-Yenisseian:*xun-
Meaning:quiet, not loud
Ket:una:t3, (Werner 2, 380) ūn-ś
Yug:una:t3, (Werner 2, 380) ún-si
Kottish:un
Arin:kunčo (Лоск.)
Comments:ССЕ 297. Werner 2, 389 <*un> (without mentioning the Arin form).
Comments:ССЕ 298. A common Yenisseian compound with *xur(a)- 'wet' q. v. The meaning of the component *gV is unclear (it does not occur separately). Werner 2, 339-340 <*uʎkǝ(ŋ)>.
Proto-Yenisseian:*xursV ~ *xurcV
Meaning:beaver
Kottish:uršä, pl. -n; (Бол.) urše
Arin:kurpäs (Лоск.)
Comments:ССЕ 298. -p- in Arin is unclear. Werner 2, 355 <*uʎsǝ / *kuʎsǝ>. In КС... qualified as a derivative of *xur1 'water' - however, because of Kott. -r- and Ar. -r- can only be derived from *xur 'wet' - or else, may be quite an independent root.
Comments:ССЕ 298. Werner 2, 378 <*(k)uʎ / *(k)uʎǝ>.
Proto-Yenisseian:*xur1-ɔp
Meaning:ice hole
Ket:ulɔp5 / ullɔp5, pl. ulá (ula:3)
Yug:urɔfɨl5, pl. urɔfɨ:ĺ3
Kottish:ulapthai, *ulapthāi, pl. ulapthājaŋ
Comments:ССЕ 298. A common Yenisseian compound with *xur1 'water'. The root is reliably reconstructed as *ɔp, but the suffixed elements -ɨl in Yug and -thai in Kottish are unclear. Werner 2, 331 <*uʎop>.
