Proto-Eskimo: *uLɣiilǝ

Meaning: birch

Russian meaning: береза

Proto-Yupik: *wǝlɣilǝ

Proto-Inupik: *urɣiilǝ, ulɣiilǝ

Comments: This is doubtlessly a loan in Proto-Inupik (irregular correspondences), with a normally prohibited consonantal structure. Sirenik and Naukan forms are actually borrowed from modern Chukchee wǝ́lɣil (Naukan shows the "shepherd's" dialectal norma ɣulɣilǝ). Proto-Inupik demonstrates a special accomodation of the PCh form *wǝlɣilǝ; the stressed vowel became long in Proto-Inupik. The specific PCh pronunciation of the voiced spirant -l- caused its reflexation as *r- in some languages. Authors of CED write that "this is the only Chukchee loan in GRI", but you can find dozens of them in our dictionary.
