Proto-Yenisseian: *b[a]jbVl
Meaning: kidney
Ket: bajbuĺ5, pl. bajbuĺǝŋ6
Yug: bajbɨl, pl. bajbɨlɨŋ6
Kottish: koipala, g. koipalei, pl. koipatn
Comments: ССЕ 206. Kottish has a regular dissimilation < *poipala (see КС 171). The stem is most probably an old compound; perhaps *b[a]jbVl < *b[a]j-pɨʔɨĺ, see *pɨʔɨĺ 'intestines'. Werner's (1, 98) analysis of -bul as būĺ 'foot' seems utterly incredible.
