\data\alt\monget
Proto-Mongolian: *eɣem
Altaic etymology: Altaic etymology
Meaning: shoulder, collarbone
Russian meaning: плечо, ключица
Written Mongolian: egem (L 298)
Middle Mongolian: egem, egan (egam) (SH), igem (LH)
Khalkha: egem
Buriat: ēm
Kalmuck: ēm
Comments: KW 130. Mong. > Evk. eɣem, see Doerfer MT 125. The word reveals a peculiar variation of -g- and -ɣ-: the Khalkha form egem may be a literary hypercorrection, but the Secret History also has -g-, not -'-, contradicting the reconstruction *eɣem based on Bur. and Kalm. Perhaps one should reconstruct *egm(e) for Proto-Mong., to account for this unusual reflexation.
