Altaic etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Altaic: *ki̯ájo
Meaning: strong odour, smoke
Russian meaning: сильный запах, дым
Comments: АПиПЯЯ 109, 277, Мудрак Дисс. 103 (see also *gi̯ūbe, *ki̯àjú, with a possibility of contaminations). Note that both in MMong. and OJ the root is sometimes treated as borrowed from MChin. khɨ̀j (see, e.g., Rozycki 139) - which is not totally excluded, but somewhat dubious (very early attestation both in Mongolian and Japanese texts, and unexplained vocalism). altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-mong,altet-tung,altet-jap,altet-reference,

Meaning: smoke
Russian meaning: дым

Nase: kɨ̀bùší

Hateruma: ki_̀pu_̀sɨ̀
Yonakuni: kìbúnčí
Comments: JLTT 448. Historically a compound with *pur- 'to wave' (or *pur- 'to snow, rain'); the Ryukyu variant *kaiNpusi may reflect a different suffixation (or the influence of *mus- 'to boil, steam'). Simple *kai is also attested in OJ as ke 'vapour, breath'; the word is traditionally regarded as borrowed < MChin. khɨ̀j id., but the vocalism is somewhat strange (one would rather expect OJ ki - which, as a matter of fact, is also attested and is the normal Goon / Kanon reading of the character 氣). japet-prnum,japet-meaning,japet-rusmean,japet-ajp,japet-mjp,japet-tok,japet-kyo,japet-kag,japet-nas,japet-shu,japet-hat,japet-yon,japet-comments,
