Proto-Yenisseian: *ŕǝʔq- ( ~ -χ)
Meaning: dirt
Yug: lъʔx // lъʔq
Arin: laj (Лоск.) 'swamp'
Comments: ССЕ 267. Werner 2, 5 <*lǝʔq>. Note that Ar. dalaj 'sea' is a transparent Mong. loanword and cannot be analyzed (as in Werner 2, 1) as da 'sea' + laj 'swamp'. In КС... the Yug word was connected with Kott. d́igen 'moss' - which is correctly doubted by Werner (2, 5); for the etymology of the latter see *čVKV.
