Lezghian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *mu(l)č:
Meaning: peak, top; nose, beak
Archi: muč
Comment: The root is isolated within Lezghian, but possesses good external correspondences (whereupon relies the supposition of medial *-l-, which regularly falls out in Archi before bifocals).

Yenisseian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Yenisseian: *binč-
Meaning: chin, cheek
Ket: bint (Ад.) 'face'
Kottish: púnǯol (М.), (Сл., Кл.) púnčol 'chin'; Ass. (М., Сл., Кл.) pinǯólan 'chin', (Кл.) punčola 'cheeks'
Arin: pinǯal (М., Сл., Кл.) 'chin', (Лоск.) pindalin 'cheek'
Comments: ССЕ 210. The Ket form is somewhat dubious (attested only in Adelung). However, Werner's (1, 130) explanation (a corrupted rendering of b- 'pronominal prefix' + īŋ 'being there', lit. "my being there") does not appear very probable. If the Ket form is fictive, the Kottish and Arin forms may in fact be derivatives of *pi(ŋ)kaʒ- 'jaw' q.v.
