Proto-Yupik: *qulǝmci-unt

Proto-Inupik: *qulipci-unt

Comments: The construction of this stem is very non-trivial. It can be explained as a loan from PCh *qulʁǝ-mɫ́ǝ where the first part is 'pan, trough' (PKCh *qŭlhǝ-) and the second part is PCh *-imɫǝ/-imcǝ (PKCh *'imɫ) 'water'; the original meaning is thus 'water from the pan, kettle'. See the NAI meaning in Inupik.
