Proto-Altaic: *sík`è ( ~ š-, *sék`ì)
Meaning: a plant with specific smell or taste
Russian meaning: растение с характерным запахом или вкусом
Comments: Cf. Kor. siktä 'Pleioblastus Simoni'. The root also means "umbrella" in Mong., and as such may be actually identical to *sík`e `detail of the house' (perhaps as an old name of some umbellate plant?).
