Proto-Yenisseian: *dɨl- (~ʒ-)
Meaning: a delved boat
Ket: dɨĺti:3 / dɨĺij6
Yug: dɨltij6
Comments: ССЕ 222. The second part of the compound is undoubtedly *t[i]χ- 'boat' q.v.; the meaning of the component dɨl- is unclear (formally translated as "child-boat" - thus also in Werner 1, 217 - but this may well be a folk etymology).
