Proto-Yenisseian: *pa(j)t-
Meaning: beater of the shaman drum
Ket: hadbuĺ5
Yug: fadbɨl5
Kottish: faituŋ, *phaituŋ, pl. faituŋán "Trommelstock"
Comments: ССЕ 244. Ket and Yug reflect a compound (with *bul 'foot'?). Werner (1, 291 <*phadǝ / *phaʔǝdǝ ?) for some reason takes the first part to be = Ket hat 'top of head'; apart from extremely strange semantics, the phonology doesn't hold water.
