K. Reshetnikov's notes: Helimski's suggestion concerning Samoyed is really witty: indeed, the comparison of the Ugric word with Sam. *äŋtǝ 'edge (of a knife etc.)' is far better phonetically (and quite acceptable semantically). However, at present no alternative hypotheses about origin of Sam. *ämtǝ 'horn' can be suggested (~ Yukagir amun 'bone'?).
