Proto-Yenisseian: *kej- (~ q-, g-)
Meaning: to bear, be born
Ket: sīja-tāx (Кастр.) "he is born", pret. sīja-tonāx; (Донн.) sjēge-tak "he is born" (Werner 2, 192: śi-ɣa-tɔnɔqś 'er ist geboren', śi-ɣi-tɔnɔqś 'sie ist geboren', Sur. śi-g-bataq)
Yug: si-g-ba-ta:hx (Werner 2, 192)
Kottish: agejaŋ "to bear", pret. anagejaŋ, imp. anei; šigei "bearing"; igejaŋ "to be born", pret. anigejaŋ, imp. anigej
Comments: ССЕ 236. Pump. (Срсл.) sietak "Geburt" is in reality a Ket form. The Ket verb is complex: its first component sīja- / sjēge- / si-g- = Kott. ši-gei. The Kott. paradigm, however, does not leave any doubt that the root is -gej- (not šig-), so the proposed reconstruction *sik in Werner 2, 192 is faulty.
