Proto-Yenisseian: *ʔāχ- (~x-)
Meaning: sack
Ket: a:ji4 / aj4 (North.), South. aj4; мн. ajeŋ6
Yug: a:hj, pl. ajeŋ5
Kottish: falanč-āk / -āg, pl. falančāgan, -čākŋ
Comments: ССЕ 185. Kottish has a compound with falanče 'sew', lit. 'sewn sack'. Werner 1, 18 reconstructs <*aʔǝjǝ> and doubts the attribution of the Kottish form. The morphological analysis of the Kottish form seems, however, quite straightforward, and the consonantal correspondence is quite regular (although not frequent) - cf. Ket. ɨ̄ 'bull' : Kott. ig 'male', Yug. ta:hr 'otter' : Kott. thēgär etc. (see КС 168 with detailed analysis).
