Proto-Yenisseian: *ʔut- (~x-,-c-)
Meaning: to suck
Ket: mam-ǝt5 'to suck breast'; (Werner 2, 27) nūt1 / nūtǝ1
Yug: mam-ǝt5 id.; (Werner 2, 27) nut1
Kottish: šiut 'sucking'; baʔūtaŋ 'to suck', praet. balaʔūtaŋ, imp. alčut, pass. balāʔut
Comments: ССЕ 201. Initial n- in Ket and Yug forms is secondary, being derived from formations like da-nam-s-ut < da-d-mam-s-ut 'sucks the breast (mam)' etc. Werner 2, 27 *ut < *qut (with *q being reconstructed for no obvious reason at all).
