Proto-Altaic: *gaso ( ~ -i)
Meaning: crane, aquatic bird
Russian meaning: журавль, водоплавающая птица
Comments: A Mong.-Tung. isogloss. On a possible reflex in PT see under *gā̀ŕV; if PT *Kāŕ at least partially reflects the present root, it would be an argument to reconstruct PA *gāso with a long *ā. One should also note Kor. dial. kesani 'goose' (KED 109) - if it is not a derivative of PK *kǝ̀jú 'goose' (see under *kúja).
