Comments:KW 281, Poppe 1974, 121, АПиПЯЯ 293. A Tung.-Mong. isogloss. The TM form can hardly be regarded as a mongolism, therefore (despite Poppe 1966, 31) this root should be carefully distinguished from ТМ *ńuŋńakī 'goose' (= Karakh. juɣaq id.). Mong. has parallel forms niɣusun and noɣusun - possibly resulting from contamination.
