Proto-Eskimo: *ciɫa-ɫuɣ, *ciHa-
Meaning: bad weather, rain
Russian meaning: плохая погода
Comments: The first meaning indicates that the root might be a derivative from *cǝɫa 'weather etc.', but in fact there may have been some secondary confusion, as is shown by Inupik variants with the meaning 'rain' opposed in GRI and found in some Inupik languages. Comparative Eskimo Dictionary: 78
