Proto-Yupik: *qitǝ-

Proto-Inupik: *qitǝ-ʁ-, (~ *-c-)

Comments: This root has been contaminated with *qǝci-ʁ- 'to spit' in Inupik due to the phonetic development *-it- > *-ic- in some languages; this explains the confusion of two roots within the same entry in CED.

Proto-Yupik: *quɣǝ-lŋi-

Proto-Inupik: *quŋu-li-

Comments: This stem has a metathesis in Proto-Inupik as well as untrivial suffixation. In Yupik it contaminates with *quɣǝ- 'sour', but overall it is probably a borrowing from PCh *ǝkʁu/kuwǝ-lŋǝn 'ordinary leaf'. Cf. also *ququŋa- 'leaf' from the same source.

Proto-Yupik: *quʁajqiRa(ʁ)- (-naʁ-), *quʁajqiRtǝ-

Proto-Inupik: *quajaqit-, *quajiK-

Comments: Some irregularities are observed in the anlaut position (see Proto-Yupik) and in the inlaut cluster development. It is possible that a protoform like *(q)ʷajqi- should rather be reconstracted. Possibly borrowed from PKCh *ŋo-ɫqъ- 'river ice, slippery' > PKam *ŋoɫKe- 'slippery' with a later development *ŋo- > *(q)ʷa-; the semantics is typical for PKam, not PCh.
