K. Reshetnikov's notes: The appearance of *ä- in Samoyed *äŋ in the place of Ur. *a (or *ō?) is probably due to a contamination with *äŋǝ- 'chin' (< *Ur. *äŋ/e/, see 44). It is also possible that we deal with a purely phonetical phenomenon - indeed, such development is observed in some cases (see, for instance, URAET 19; cf. also Janhunen 1981, 255-256), but a satisfactory explanation for it is still to be found.
