Proto-Yenisseian: *čǝG-
Meaning: crust on snow
Ket: tъ̄-tik
Yug: tъ-tik / tъu-tik
Kottish: šāk, šāx, šāg
Comments: ССЕ 216-217. Ket and Yug reflect a compound with *tiχ "snow" (q.v.); Yug has a assimilation tъ-tik < *čǝ:-tik (old initial affricate is indicated by the Kottish form). In Kottish cf. also u-šōx, u-šou 'ice' - possibly *ul-šōx lit. 'water-crust'. Werner (2, 305, 436) apparently does not accept the assimilatory explanation for Yug t- and consequently has to separate the Kott. form (accepting for it the reconstruction *čǝG-) from the Ket and Yug one. For the latter he gives a protoform <*thǝ / *thǝ̀gǝ́> and unites it with tʌ- in *tǝʔlap 'bread crust' q.v. - which I think is hardly justified, see under *tǝʔlap. One should also mention that Kott. ušōx 'ice' is utterly strangely etymologized (Werner 2, 376) as ūša 'far' + *ku / xu 'ice'; and finally that Werner lists (without etymology, see 1, 166) Yug čɔ́χɔr 'Rauhreif' - which must be a compound *čǝG-qo-xur, with *čǝG-qo- being an exact match for Kott. šāk, and proving that Yug t- in tъtik is aq result of assimilation.

Comments: Kor. čhiw- 'cold' is a secondary derivation from čhằ-. Mong. ča-sun may actually reflect a contamination with *čar-sun, cf. *čar 'crust (of snow), наст' (see *č`era); Southern Mongolian languages seem, however, to preserve traces of a velar *čag-su. altet-prnum,altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-mong,altet-tung,altet-kor,altet-reference,

Number: 51
Proto: *ćaka
English meaning: drift-ice, thin ice
German meaning: Treibeis; dünnes Eis
Saam (Lapp): čuokke -g- 'ice-crust on pasture' (N), tjuohke (L) 'Eisüberzug des Bodens'
Khanty (Ostyak): t́oɣ (V) 'dünnes Eis, das vor dem Zufrieren des Flusses in der Strömung treibt; Eisgrieß, fein zermahlenes Eis'
Mansi (Vogul): sai̊ (LM) 'Treibeis'
Hungarian: zaj, szaj, saj (dial.) 'Eisstoß, Eistreiben; erste Eisbildung, dünne Eisdecke auf der Wasseroberfläche'
K. Reshetnikov's notes: L. Honti (HontiGObV 131) compares the Khanty form with MSs. s'ūŋk 'Eiskruste' (obviously not related to MML. sai̥) and reconstructs Proto-Ob-Ugric *c'V̄ŋk. This comparison is obviously also acceptable, since the correspondence Khanty *-ɣ ~ Mansi *-ŋk (<OU *-ŋk?) is attested in a few examples (which appear quite reliable), although the stable counterpart of the Mansi *-ŋk in Khanty is still *-ŋk (in this case, we evidently deal with some specific distribution in Khanty, which is at present hard to establish for lack of material). Note that accepting Honti's comparison would hamper the inclusion of the OU data in the FU etymology in question (cf. the absence of any traces of a nasal in Hun., where *-ŋk would have developed into -g, and in Lapp.), while it is quite evident that at least the Khanty word must be involved in it.
