Proto-Yenisseian: *tǝʔlap- (~-r-)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: bread crust
Ket: tʌla:3, pl. tʌĺaŋ5
Yug: tʌlap5 / tʌla:p3, pl. tʌlafɨn5
Comments: ССЕ 284. Werner (2, 297) also reconstructs *thǝlap, but identifies the first part of the word with Ket. tъ̄-, Yug. tъ(u)- in *čǝG-tiχ 'snow crust' (q.v.). This would be possible if the second part (-lap) meant "bread" - which is unfortunately not the case: Yug. laʔp means only 'piece', so the compound would have to mean "crust-piece". Additionally, tonal parameters do not match (we have ъ̄ < *-ǝ- in tъ̄-tik, but ʌ with the 5th tone < *-ǝʔ- in *tǝʔlap), which makes Werner's treatment even less probable.
