Proto-Altaic: *ki̯áta
Meaning: salmon, a k. of fish
Russian meaning: лосось, вид рыбы
Comments: An interesting root, demonstrating the acquaintance of the speakers with the way of life of the salmon (weakening and dying after releasing roe). Note a common derivative *ki̯áta-rV in the Turko-Mongolian area.
