Proto-Yenisseian: *ʔVĺ-
Meaning: to speak
Ket: ĺaĺ4 (North.), Kur. ĺa:ĺi4, Bak., Sur. ĺa:ĺǝ4 "to babble"
Kottish: d́-ili "speaking", d́il-ākŋ "to speak", praet. d́illōkŋ
Arin: qedɨ́lči (М., Сл., Кл.)
Pumpokol: kalú (Сл.)
Comments: In ССЕ 308 the Kott. form is attributed to *ʒVl- 'speak': this reconstruction is probably erroneous. We should probably reconstruct *ʔVĺ- and reduplicated *ĺVĺ- - cf. Werner 2, 6-7 <*ʎaʔǝlǝ / *d'aʔǝlǝ>. Velar q-, k- in Arin and Pumpokol are in this case most probably preverbial elements.
