Proto-Sino-Caucasian: *χṓnV
Meaning: trap, net
North Caucasian: *χ_ōnV̆
Sino-Tibetan: *χānH ( ~ -ɫH)
Yenisseian: *ʔuʔun (~x-,-G-,-χ-)
Comments and references : WFR 51. Length in ST rather points to *-V̄ which contradicts PEC *-V̆; the latter, however, is only reconstructed on the basis of Av. Gen. hínal which may alternatively represent paradigm A (not C) and thus point to PEC *χ_HōnV or *χ_ōHnV.

Proto-Yenisseian: *ʔuʔun (~x-,-G-,-χ-)
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: a k. of net ("пущальня"); to set up (a net)
Ket: unǝŋ5,6, pl. unaɣǝn5, ūń (v.)
Yug: u:ń (v.)
Comments: ССЕ 199. Yug has a very rare -ń (incorrect recording?). Werner 2, 348 explains the form unǝŋ as a compound with *pǝʔŋ 'net' - which is in fact quite possible (*ʔuʔun-paʔŋ), but does not explain why "die Rekonstruktion *ʔuʔun bleibt deshalb fraglich".
