Yenisseian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-Yenisseian: *ta- / *tɔ(t)-
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: naked; barefooted; bald
Ket: tɔńɔĺ5, pl. -ǝŋ5 'naked'; tabuĺaŋ6 'barefoot'; tɔtpuĺ5, pl. -ǝŋ5 'bald'
Yug: tɔńɔl5, pl. -ɨŋ5 'naked'; tafɨlɨŋ6 'barefoot'; (Werner 2, 282) tɔʔl 'bald'
Kottish: thapalō 'naked'
Comments: ССЕ 280. Yug has an assimilative devoicing (as in xɔfat 'back' vs. Ket qɔbǝt). Despite Werner's (2, 248) doubts we obviously have a combination of the root *ta- / *tɔ- with various second components. The most transparent combination is *ta + *bul 'foot', whence Ket tabuĺaŋ, Yug tafɨlɨŋ 'barefoot' and probably Kott. thapalo (with further semantic development 'barefoot' > 'naked'). The meaning of the components -(t)puĺ in Ket tɔtpuĺ 'bald' and -ńɔl in Ket tɔńɔĺ 'naked' is so far unclear; Werner's hypothesis that tɔńǝĺ is a compound of tɔʔn 'so, simply' + ɔʔl 'shell' is hardly acceptable - just because the meaning 'simply' is not attested for tɔʔn (which is just an adverbial form of the demonstrative pronoun).
