Altaic etymology :

\data\alt\altet
Proto-Altaic: *t`aŋnà
Nostratic: Nostratic
Meaning: shell, pearl
Russian meaning: раковина, жемчужина
Mongolian: *tana
Tungus-Manchu: *taŋa
Korean: *tàŋ'àrí
Japanese: *tàmà
Comments: In Jpn. the root has partially contaminated with *t`i̯àma 'round' q. v. (which may explain the accent disagreement with Kor.). In Turkic cf. Dolg. (Stachowski 216) tana 'alter, ausgetrockneter Rentierknochen': semantically most close to the Evk. word (see below), but -n- is strange for a loanword < Evk. taŋa.
