Proto-Eskimo: *aŋtu-
Meaning: seal (sp.)
Russian meaning: тюлень (спец.)
Comments: The root looks like a derivative from *aŋ(u)- 'big' but this does not account for specific semantic connections to the meaning 'seal'. The shortness of the first vowel in Chaplino shows the non-derivative character of this stem. Comparative Eskimo Dictionary: 32
