Comments: EAS 54, KW 125, Владимирцов 285, Poppe 11, 79, ОСНЯ 3, 73-76, Цинциус 1984, 71, ЭСТЯ 1, 299, Дыбо 318-321, Мудрак Дисс. 194, Лексика 253-255, Rozycki 76. A Western isogloss. Assumption of Mong. < Turk. (Щербак 1997, 116) is impossible. Cf. also Mong. (h)arba- 'to spread (of fingers)'. It is also interesting to note the equation (see Lee 1958, 109) of Manchu fereχe siŋguri (lit. 'fingered mouse') 'bat' = MKor. pā̆rk-čúi id. (čui 'mouse'). This may be a trace of the root in Korean; however, also possible is a local merger (in Korean and Manchu) of this root with PA *p`ore 'feather, wing' - in that case the compounds would mean rather 'winged mouse'. altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-mong,altet-tung,altet-reference,

Comments: ТМС 2, 354. Doerfer MT 68-69 regards Manchu ferxe and Nan. perxe as borrowed from Mong., separating them from the rest of TM forms (derived ibid. from *puru- 'to crush' - ?). This all is clearly unacceptable, because in fact we are dealing with a very clear case of e/u alternation after a labial. tunget-prnum,tunget-meaning,tunget-rusmean,tunget-evk,tunget-evn,tunget-neg,tunget-man,tunget-ulc,tunget-ork,tunget-nan,tunget-orc,tunget-ude,tunget-sol,tunget-reference,
