Proto-Eskimo: *pǝʁlǝ-ʁ-
Meaning: to squat down, joint, knee
Russian meaning: сидеть на корточках, сустав, колено
Proto-Yupik: *pǝʁlǝʁ-, *pǝʁ-nǝʁ
Proto-Inupik: *pǝʁ(lǝʁ)-nǝʁ, *pǝʁlǝ-
Comments: For phonetic reasons this stem is separated from *ǝpǝʁ- (-t-) 'to bend', whereas for semantic reasons it cannot be related to 'become stiff with cold' or 'to starve to death' despite CED. Cf. *piʁlaɣ 'sled runner'.
