Proto-Altaic: *mi̯at`i
Meaning: head skin, face
Russian meaning: кожа на голове, лицо
Comments: EAS 79, KW 262, Лексика 207-208. A Western isogloss. The Jpn. cognates present problems. Ozawa 292-293 compares OJ mod(w)ok(j)i 'resembling, similar', which is quite irregular vocalically. It is interesting to note MJ mitai id. (used exactly in the same suffixed position and being phonetically quite a good match for Mong. metü etc., but attested late and usually analysed (folk-etymologically?) as a desiderative form of mi- 'to see'. altet-prnum,altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-mong,altet-tung,altet-reference,

Proto-Yenisseian: *bat(t)-
Meaning: face
Ket: bāt / battat5 (South.); Imb. battat5, pl. battatǝŋ6, battarǝŋ6
Yug: ba:t "face", battat5, pl. battatɨŋ5 "muzzle, face"
Comments: ССЕ 207. Werner 1, 107, 109, evidently undecided whether the word is borrowed from Turkic (as suggested in Stachowski 1997/2, 230 - and, I think, quite dubious for phonetic reasons) or genuine, with the reconstruction <*baʔǝtǝ / *bagǝt>. The first of these two forms would correspond to *bāt in our reconstruction and is not supported by any evidence (a form like Yug ba:ht4 would be required); the second could be interpreted as *baʔat or *baGat and is derived from the Yug variant ba:t3. It is not yet clear whether we should more rely on the Ket form bāt, or on the Yug form ba:t3. The compound battat is treated by Werner as bat 'face' (this time for some reason in the shape baʔt2) + aʔt 'bone'; this is possible, but the body part suffix *-Vʒ is also not excluded - because of a lack of a corresponding Kottish form.
