The Shakhdagh forms go back to a suffixed building *ʡʷim:V-j. One can not exclude the possibility of relating here also Ud. ülmäj 'button' (if metathesized < *ʡʷim:V-lV-j).

Yenisseian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Yenisseian: *ʔāŋ (~x-)
Meaning: string
Ket: āŋǝ 'string'; aŋ-gej6, aŋɨn-gej5 'to bind'
Yug: āŋ 'string'
Kottish: anaŋ 'string'; ōŋaŋ 'bind', praet. olāŋan, imp. ōlaŋ, pass. ōlāŋe
Comments: ССЕ 186. Werner 1, 39 <*agǝŋǝ / *aʔǝŋǝ>. The reconstruction of *-g- here is based on an old Ket recording högaŋa / hogaŋa 'gewundenes Seil' which - because of h- - is most probably a compound (*pVʔV-ʔāŋ 'woven string', see *pVʔV), so the form *agǝŋǝ cannot be justified.
