Yenisseian etymology : Query result

Proto-Yenisseian: *qǟŋa

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: kite; owl

Ket: qa:ŋǝ⁴ (Kur.), Bak., Sur. qa:ŋǝ⁴ / qaŋǝ⁴, South. qaŋ⁴; pl. qāŋen¹ "kite"

Yug: xa:^hŋ, pl. xaŋen¹ (cf. also М., Сл. xáhaŋa 'hawk')

Kottish: kéŋa-fuj (Ass.) "owl"

Comments: ССЕ 257. Werner 2, 68 <*qaʔǝŋǝ>. The roots *qǟŋa and *kVg- (q.v.) are actively contaminating; the former must have originally meant a hawk or kite, while the latter - some kind of owl.

Proto-Yenisseian: *qeʔs (~χ-)

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: sand, sandy shore

Ket: qɛʔś, pl. qɛŕeŋ⁵ (Bak., Sur. qɛdǝŋ⁵)

Yug: xɛʔs, (Werner 2, 84) pl. χɛ́d́iŋ

Comments: ССЕ 257. Rather strange is the plural form pointing to *qeʔʒ- (~χ-,-ǯ-): a suppletive stem? or a compound *qeʔs+ *ʔeʔǯVŋ (see *ʔeʔǯ- 'damp sand')? Werner 1, 84-85 <*qeʔs / *qeʔt'>: relates here Arin kes, Pump. kit 'stone', despite the fact that these forms completely regularly reflect a different root, PY *čɨʔs 'stone'. He also tries to connect Kott. hanaŋ 'shore', on the Uralic origin of which see under *qäʔj.

Proto-Yenisseian: *qeʔt- (~χ-) ?

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: pregnant

Ket: qässej⁵ , North. qɛssej⁵

Yug: хɛtes⁵

Comments: ССЕ 258. Werner 2, 83-84: suggests that the first element may be *χ[e]ʔ 'big', supporting this idea by the separability of the root in Ket t-qä-ŋ-tas-dʌŋdʌjen 'we are pregnant' etc. If this is not a secondary insertion of -ŋ-, we should rather think of a root *tis 'belly' (?).

Proto-Yenisseian: *qepVn- (~χ-)

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: to close (door)

Ket: qeńgej⁶; Werner 2, 85: qɛ:ńij³, qɛ:ńgij³, qänij, qanij; t-qɛ́b-bit 'I close it'

Yug: di-χɛ́fɨnābdi ʔ 'ich mache es zu', imper. χɛ́fɨne (Werner 2, 85)

Comments: Werner 2, 85 *qep^hǝn: the addition of the Yug forms allows to change the reconstruction from *qeń- ( ~ χ-) in ССЕ 258 to *qepVn- ( ~ χ-). Cf. Kott. (Werner 1, 325) hōp(e)tal 'Satteldecke, Teppich'?

Proto-Yenisseian: *qēǯ- (~χ-)

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: pole

Ket: qɛ:^hŕi⁵ (Kur.), Bak., Sur. qɛ:dǝ⁴ / qɛdǝ⁴, South. qɛŕ⁴; pl. qēŕeŋ¹, Bak., Sur. qēdeŋ

Yug: xɛ:^ht́, pl. xed́iŋ¹ / xɛd́iŋ⁵

Comments: ССЕ 258. Werner 2, 83 <*qɛʔǝd'ǝ>.

Proto-Yenisseian: *qǝʔń

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: flea

Ket: qʌʔń (КРС, Werner 2, 148)

Kottish: imgara-xon (Бол.) 'flea', xon 'beetle'

Comments: ССЕ 258. The Kott. compound contains imgara 'little' in the first part. Werner 2, 148.

Proto-Yenisseian: *qǝk- (~χ-)

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: spoon

Ket: qъ̄kt// qъ̄ktǝ¹ , pl. qʌktǝŋ⁵ (Werner 2, 149: qʌ́ktaq / qʌ́ktaqŋ)

Yug: xъkči¹, pl. xʌkčakŋ⁵

Comments: ССЕ 259. Werner 2, 149 *qǝk-t'ak (altes Kompositum). The word may indeed be an old compound, but the second component should be rather reconstructed as *čaq, and is probably the same as in *čaq-pǝm q.v.

Proto-Yenisseian: *qǝm- (~χ-)

Meaning: thorny bush, thorn

Ket: qʌmbǝl⁵ / qʌmǝl⁵ / qʌmĺej⁵ / qʌmɨĺ⁵, pl. qʌmbǝlaŋ⁵ / qʌmɨĺaŋ⁵ 'wild rose', 'thorn'

Comments: Cf. also qʌ́maś 'thorn' < *qǝm-ʔǝmas (see *ʔǝmas). Werner 2, 144, 145 (analyzing qʌ́mas as qä ʌmas 'big thorn' - which is rather dubious).

Proto-Yenisseian: *qǝnte (~χ-)

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: ant

Ket: qъ̄nt / qъ̄nte¹, pl. qъ̄nten¹ / qъ̄ntenǝŋ¹

Yug: xъntɨ¹, pl. xъntɨnɨŋ¹

Comments: ССЕ 259. Werner 2, 149.

Proto-Yenisseian: *qǝǯ- (~χ-)

Meaning: to give, give away

Ket: qʌŕem⁵, Bak., Sur. qʌdǝm⁵

Yug: xʌd́iŋ-fɨt⁵

Arin: koja-penä (Лоск.) "I give" ?

Comments: ССЕ 259. The comparison with Arin is possible if the form is correctly segmented. Werner 2, 146.

Proto-Yenisseian: *qɨʔ (~χ-), pl. *qǝʔǯVŋ

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: skewer, spit; (sun-)beam

Ket: qɨʔ, pl. qʌŕeŋ⁵, Bak., Sur. pl. qʌdǝŋ⁵

Yug: xɨʔ, pl. xʌdɨŋ⁵ (Werner 2, 152-153: χʌ́d́iŋ)

Comments: ССЕ 258-259. Werner 2, 152-153 <*qɨʔ / *qǝd'ǝ>. The roots for "bow" and "skewer / beam" (**"arrow"?) tend to contaminate in Ket-Yug.; perhaps they should be even united historically, but morphological details are not clear.

Proto-Yenisseian: *qɨte (~χ-)

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: wolf

Ket: qɨ̄t, Kur. qɨ̄ti¹; pl. qʌtn⁵

Yug: xɨ̄t // xɨt, pl. xʌtn⁵ // xɨtn⁵

Arin: kut (М., Сл., Кл.), kūt (Стр.), kot (Лоск.)

Pumpokol: xótu (Сл.)

Comments: ССЕ 260. Werner 2, 155 <*qʌt^hǝ>.

Proto-Yenisseian: *qɨ̄ǯ- (~χ-)

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: to dig

Ket: qɨŕ⁴ (South.), Kur. qɨ:ŕi⁴, Bak., Sur. qɨ:dǝ⁴

Yug: xɨ:^ht́⁴

Comments: ССЕ 260. Werner 2, 151 <*qɨʔǝd'ǝ>.
