Proto-Yenisseian: *qepVn- (~χ-)
Meaning: to close (door)
Ket: qeńgej6; Werner 2, 85: qɛ:ńij3, qɛ:ńgij3, qänij, qanij; t-qɛ́b-bit 'I close it'
Yug: di-χɛ́fɨnābdi ʔ 'ich mache es zu', imper. χɛ́fɨne (Werner 2, 85)
Comments: Werner 2, 85 *qephǝn: the addition of the Yug forms allows to change the reconstruction from *qeń- ( ~ χ-) in ССЕ 258 to *qepVn- ( ~ χ-). Cf. Kott. (Werner 1, 325) hōp(e)tal 'Satteldecke, Teppich'?
