Proto-Yenisseian: *čaq-pǝm (~c-)
Meaning: scoop
Ket: taqpǝm6, pl. -n5 (South.)
Yug: čappǝm6, pl. -n5
Comments: ССЕ 215. Werner 2, 240 <*t'ap-qǝm> gives the meaning as 'birch bark vessel, mainly used for feeding dogs' and tries to explain the word as *čaʔp 'dogs' + an unclear second component. This seems rather a folk-etymological analysis. The word indeed appears to be a compound, but the second component is rather *piʔn (with assimilation > -pVm) 'scoop', so we only can reconstruct *čaq-pVm < *čaq-piʔn, not *čap-qVm. The same root is probably present in *qǝk-čaq 'spoon' (see *qǝk-).
