Proto-Altaic: *bi̯ònV
Meaning: a k. of predator
Russian meaning: вид хищного животного
Comments: A Turk.-Tung. isogloss. Palatalized *-ń- in TM is a secondary assimilation result. The root must have denoted some wild predator. It is tempting to compare similar forms in Mong. and Jpn., denoting some (mythical?) aquatic predator: PJ *bàni 'crocodile', WMong. (БАМРС) banuqai 'a rare aquatic creature, dwelling in water during daytime and on the shore during nighttime' - but the semantic change seems too far-fetched. altet-prnum,altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-tung,altet-reference,
