Proto-Eskimo: *taŋǝ(v)-
Meaning: strip of blubber remaining after oil renders
Russian meaning: шкварки
Comments: This root has nothing to do with *taŋǝ- 'hard, strong, well off, prosperous' (such a confusion is present in CED). The root is possibly borrowed from PKCh *thʷan-av 'chaw, pitch, tar' > PKam *tǝhan, PCh *(t)fanab. Comparative Eskimo Dictionary: 330
