Yenisseian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Yenisseian: *tVPV
Meaning: to hear
Kottish: atpi 'hearing, information'; atpoa 'it is heard'; atpifunākŋ 'to be silent' ("be without information")
Arin: ban-tibi-tälim (Лоск.) 'I smell'
Comments: ССЕ 292. The Kott.-Arin comparison is possible if the Arin form is correctly segmented (which is not quite secure); Werner 1, 78 also doubts it - for his analysis which is hardly preferable see *ʔeq-. The root may be related to *-tV 'be heard, resound' q.v.
