Comments:ССЕ 205. Kott. m-inšo < *b-inšo with a regular assimilation *b- > m- before a nasal. In Ket and Yug cf. also ba- / bo- 'morpheme of the 1st person in verb forms'. In Arin the marker is attested in kinship terms: bi-q́aŕat '(my) husband', bi-ḱal '(my) son', bi-ḱaĺa '(my) daughter', bi-qam-alte '(my) wife', be-kib '(my) grandfather' etc.
Comments:ССЕ 206. Cf. also Ket bātkup1 'bend (of a river)' (the second part - kup - is not quite clear). Ket and Kottish reflect a compound with *bul 'foot, leg' q.v. Werner 1, 108-109 gives a completely folk-etymological analysis of bat-puĺ as bat "forehead, face" + būĺ "leg": it is the stranger because on the same page he adds the attested plain stem baʔt 'joint, knee' and bátiŋ 'joints' - clearly distinct from bat / bāt3 'face' q.v.
Comments:ССЕ 206. Kottish has a regular dissimilation < *poipala (see КС 171). The stem is most probably an old compound; perhaps *b[a]jbVl < *b[a]j-pɨʔɨĺ, see *pɨʔɨĺ 'intestines'. Werner's (1, 98) analysis of -bul as būĺ 'foot' seems utterly incredible.
Proto-Yenisseian:*baŋas
Meaning:rapid (on a river)
Ket:baŋaś5 (Kur.), pl. baŋaś6; South. baŋeś 5, pl. baŋǝśn5,6
Comments:Connected with *baʔŋ 'earth'? Werner 1, 103 (without etymology).
Yug:baxam5, pl. baxamɨŋ "old woman"; baxat5, pl. baxatɨŋ5 "old man"
Comments:ССЕ 206. Attested forms reflect PY compounds *baqa-qVm "old woman" and *baqa-keʔt "old man" (see *qVm-, *keʔt), contracted in Ket and Yug. (the reconstructions *baqam and *baqat in Werner 1, 111 are therefore not quite correct). May be a derived (with the prefix *b- or *w-) form from the root *ʔǝq- 'earlier, in old times' (q.v.). Helimski (КС 239) notes the similarity with North. Samoyed *wɔjk- 'old'.
Comments:ССЕ 206. In Kottish we obserce a regular dissimilation kojpat < *pojpat and an irregular devoicing of the final voiced consonant (see КС 171).
Ket:bāt / battat5 (South.); Imb. battat5, pl. battatǝŋ6, battarǝŋ6
Yug:ba:t "face", battat5, pl. battatɨŋ5 "muzzle, face"
Comments:ССЕ 207. Werner 1, 107, 109, evidently undecided whether the word is borrowed from Turkic (as suggested in Stachowski 1997/2, 230 - and, I think, quite dubious for phonetic reasons) or genuine, with the reconstruction <*baʔǝtǝ / *bagǝt>. The first of these two forms would correspond to *bāt in our reconstruction and is not supported by any evidence (a form like Yug ba:ht4 would be required); the second could be interpreted as *baʔat or *baGat and is derived from the Yug variant ba:t3. It is not yet clear whether we should more rely on the Ket form bāt, or on the Yug form ba:t3. The compound battat is treated by Werner as bat 'face' (this time for some reason in the shape baʔt2) + aʔt 'bone'; this is possible, but the body part suffix *-Vʒ is also not excluded - because of a lack of a corresponding Kottish form.
Comments:ССЕ 207. Werner 1, 101-102. Both Ket-Yug and Kottish reflect compounds with elements, quite plausibly interpreted by Werner (ibid.) as *gu (*ku) 'opening' (q.v.) and *χäʔʒ 'clothing' (q.v.)
