Meaning: to be afraid, spirit, ghost

Russian meaning: пугаться, дух

Proto-Yupik: *ijʁa-

Proto-Inupik: *ijuʁa-, *irǝʁa-

Comments: In CED this stem is interpreted as a derivative from *irǝʁ- 'to hide'. Such contaminations are present in modern Inupik languages (hence the secondary -r- in the middle of the stem) but in case of regular development, "irʁa- rather than *irǝʁa- should be expected. The archaic version with the labialised vowel in the second syllable clearly shows that this is a different root going back to PKCh *'iɣʷjǝqǝ- with the same meaning 'evil, ghost, to be afraid'.
