RESHET: By Rédei, in this comparison is also involved Ngan. aniʔe 'big' (with ?), but I still prefer to link this form to other material (see URAET 13). It is not quite clear how to interpret some words meaning an elder (male) relative: FB-Lapp. *enoi 'maternal uncle', Komi un(-) 'uncle/aunt', Sam. *inä 'elder brother, father's younger brother'. In UEW, these words are listed as reflexes of the Proto-Uralic word in question, which is based on their phonetical shape as well as on a possibility of semantical development 'big > elder > elder brother, uncle' (note that in FB, Lapp. and Komi the first syllable vowels of respective forms are perfectly identic with those of forms meaning 'much, more' and 'big'). Such a solution doesn't seem unacceptable, but in URAET, I preliminarily treat this etymological group as a distinct one (see URAET 1801).
