Comments:ССЕ 271. Werner 2, 192, 437 *sei. The Ket form definitely reflects a compound preserved in Kottish (but hardly with baʔŋ 'earth, place' as suggested by Werner).
Ket:śɛnǝŋ5, pl. śɛnin5 / śɛni:n3; śɛnam5, pl. -in "shamaness"
Yug:sɛnǝŋ5
Kottish:šēnaŋ "witchcraft"; šēnaŋ hit "shaman"; šēnaŋākŋ "to conjure sorcery"
Comments:ССЕ 271. Werner 2, 184 (acknowledges the reconstruction but gives an utterly strange comment: "erinnert an Sin 'Mondgott' im assyrisch-babylonischen Pantheon" (?)).
Ket:śēŋ, pl. śɛŋǝn5; śénan, śéŋnan 'stomach' (Werner 2, 189-190)
Yug:seŋ, pl. sɛŋɨn5; séńńan 'stomach' (Werner 2, 189-190)
Comments:ССЕ 272. The word for "heart" in Kott. and Arin possibly reflects a compound *seŋ + *tVp-, lit. "liver" + "spleen": cf. Kott. šitap, Ass. šitábu (М., Сл., Срсл., Кл.), Ar. šenóugbu (М., Сл., Кл., Срсл.), šenebo (Лоск.); a similar origin may be also suggested for Ket śɛ́rap, MKet. śɛ̀dáp (Werner 2, 186) 'Bauchspeicheldrüse; Milz'. Werner's analysis of -p(u), -bu in these compounds as *pu 'belly' is less plausible because it does not explain the first part of compund (šita-, šene-). See Werner 2, 190 (connecting also Kott. šičil, Ar. sal - on which see *sisa(l)-), 1, 332.
Proto-Yenisseian:*seŋan
Meaning:spark
Ket:saŋan6, pl. -ǝŋ5
Yug:sɛŋan6, pl. -iŋ5
Comments:ССЕ 272. Possibly a loanword: cf. Selk. sǝnqän 'glowing coal', further - Turk. saɣɨn, čaqɨn, Finn. säkene (see Bouda 1957, 77, Хелимский КС 246, Werner 2, 158).
Comments:ССЕ 271. Cf. also Ket qɔkś, pl. qɔkśeś "brook" - lit. "one river" or "quick river" (an interesting case of a reinterpretation). Werner 2, 191 <*set / *tet>.
Ket:śɛĺ4 (South.), Kur. śɛ:ĺi4, Bak., Sur. śɛ:ĺǝ4; pl. śɛʔn
Yug:sɛ:hr, pl. sɛʔn
Kottish:šeli, *šele, *šeĺe, g. šelā, pl. šetn "wild animal"
Arin:sin (М., Сл. Кл.,) "deer (cervus)"
Pumpokol:sálat (Сл.) "deer (rangifer)"
Comments:ССЕ 272. For PY one can reconstruct the plural form *seʔn ( < *sēr1-n?), to which, in particular, we can trace Ar. sin. Werner 2, 183 <*seʔǝʎǝ, pl. *seʔn> (the statement that *seʔǝʎǝ is an old compound is disputable because the components are not specified).
Proto-Yenisseian:*sǝG-
Meaning:heavy
Ket:śʌ:ś (pred.), śʌ: (attr.)
Yug:sъ: / sъu3 (attr.)
Kottish:šīkŋ; (Бол.) šuoga "heavily"
Arin:šoga (Лоск.) "heavily"
Comments:ССЕ 273. This root probably serves as the deriving stem for the verb Yug. śi:ń3, Ket śiɣǝń5 'to weigh' (although there are vocalic problems and Ket -ɣ- is absolutely unclear - perhaps an erroneous recording?). Werner 2, 221 reconstructs <*sǝkǝ > *sǝgǝ> "heavy", but does not agree with relating here the verb "to weigh" ("wie verlockend es auch scheint"). In 2, 204 he reconstructs <*sigǝn'> 'to weigh' and lists the Ket reflexes as śíɣeń / śíɣań / śi:ń3. Ket -ɣ- is still unexplained, but the - now attested - variant śi:ńh allows to reconstruct *siGǝń, which I still think is quite well derivable from *sǝG- 'heavy'.
