Comments:ССЕ 274. An expressive root, with assimilative devoicing in Yug. Werner 2, 202 *siphǝl (but Ket. baŋt śírɛpśa / śídɛpśa 'unterirdischer Flüsterer', reconstructed by Werner ibid. as *sidǝph, must be a different root).
Proto-Yenisseian:*sida-
Meaning:to learn, teach
Ket:sidaʁaidi (Кастр.), praet. sidaʁoldi; (КРС) siraʁat; Werner 2, 198: śíra / śída 'accustomed to; to become accustomed, learn'
Yug:sideaʁaidī (Кастр.), praet. sideaʁordi; Werner 2, 198, 199 sí...da:h, sídǝu 'accustomed; get accustomed, learn, teach'
Comments:ССЕ 274. Werner 2, 198-199. On Kott. šit- 'learn' see under *sit-.
Proto-Yenisseian:*siG
Meaning:night
Ket:śī, pl. śiɣǝ5
Yug:si, pl. sarɨŋ5 / sa:hrɨŋ4
Kottish:šīg, *šīx, pl. šaŋ; Ass. šig (М., Срсл., Сл., Кл., Бол.)
Arin:saj (М., Сл., Срсл., Кл., Лоск.)
Pumpokol:teč (Сл., Срсл., Кл.)
Comments:ССЕ 274. In Pump. -č is most probably a suffixed element (hardly a reflex of *-G). Werner 2, 206 <*šigǝ>.
Comments:ССЕ 274. Werner (2, 197) is probably correct in analyzing the Ket-Yug forms as a compound with *-xur1 'water'; however, analyzing sin- as = *sin- 'old, withered' is surprising and, moreover, does not take into account the Kott. form (which is in fact an original plural from the simple root).
Kottish:šičātn, pl. -aŋ 'lungs', šičil, pl. -aŋ 'liver'; Ass. (Бол.) šišatɨn 'lungs'
Arin:šišali (Лоск.) 'lungs', sal (reduction < *sVsal?) 'liver'
Comments:ССЕ 275. Not quite clear is the position of Werner: he accepts the reconstruction *sisa(l)- on p. 2, 438, but on the next page (2, 439) treats the same words as a compound *si + *sil (?), lumping together all the forms and also adding all those analyzed under *seŋ.
Comments:Werner 2, 201 *sit-. Both in КС (with a hypothesis of assimilation -d- > -t- in Kottish) and in Werner 2, 199 the Kott. verb is compared with Ket sida- 'learn'. However, a much better phonetic match is Ket sit- 'to wake up, discover'; so the Kottish word should be probably regarded as a merger of PY *sit- and *sida-.
Comments:The Pump. forms dɨsian (Кл.), dɨsijan (Срсл.) are in reality Yug. In Ket cf. also śi:k3 (a suffixed form? cf. Yug /Werner 2, 205/ sījǝk id.) 'bait'. Werner 1, 360 <*siʔǝgǝ->. In ССЕ 274 I have reconstructed *siG- on the basis of the Kottish and Pumpokol forms. However, 4th tone in Ket śi4 and Yug si:hj4 recorded by Werner forces to change the reconstruction to *sī-, without any postvelar element: otherwise the tone would be 1 (in case of short *i) or 3 (in case of long *ī), see КС 196. The Kott. and Pump. forms are thus rather matching the suffixed forms Ket śi:k3, Yug sījǝk, see above.
Proto-Yenisseian:*sɨʔ
Meaning:to put on, wear
Ket:-ś 'to put on'; śɨʔŋ id. (infin.)
Yug:sɨʔŋ / siʔŋ
Kottish:d́-a-ši-aŋ 'I dress myself'
Comments:ССЕ 275. See Г. Старостин 1995, 171. Werner 2, 222 *sɨʔ, *sɨʔŋ (identifying the word with *sɨʔŋ 'bind' q.v. - which cannot be excluded).
