Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: brother, sister

Ket: biśɛʔp

Yug: bisɛʔp

Kottish: popēš 'brother', popēča 'sister'

Pumpokol: bič

Comments: ССЕ 210. Ket, Yug and Kottish reflect a compound with *beʔb 'son-in-law, husband of elder sister' (q.v.), cf. the plural Ket. biśn-imin, Yug. bisen-bɛfǝn 'brothers'. Werner 1, 133 <*bes>. The pure stem, besides Pump. bič, is attested in Ket (Werner 1, 135) ámdi bīś 'uncle, mother's brother'.

Kottish: uča-ptar, pl. uča-ptanaŋ, (Бол.) učatapitaran

Meaning: diver, loon

Ket: bīt, pl. bīkŋ¹

Yug: bit́, pl. bikŋ¹

Comments: ССЕ 210. Werner 1, 135 <*bè-gǝ́t'> (?). For *-ǯ- cf. Ket bírɔĺ, MKet. bidɔĺ (Werner 1, 131) 'Beutel aus der Haut einer Tauchergans'.

Meaning: far

Ket: biĺ⁴(South.); North. bi:ĺ⁴ / bi:ĺ³; biĺǝm⁵ "far (adv.)"

Yug: bi:hr; bi:hrɛ⁴ "far (adv.)"

Kottish: pīl, pil; (Бол.) pilä "far (adv.)"

Arin: pata (Лоск.) "far (adv.)"

Comments: ССЕ 211. Ar. -ta is probably a suffix, just as in uta "long (adv.)". Werner 1, 125 <*biʔǝʎǝ>.

Proto-Yenisseian: *bɨʔs

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: penis

Ket: bɨʔś, pl. bɨśǝŋ⁵

Yug: bɨʔs, pl. bɨ:hs

Kottish: puš; асс. puš (М., Сл., Кл.)

Comments: ССЕ 211. Werner 1, 160.

Proto-Yenisseian: *bɨĺ-

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: all

Ket: bɨldǝ⁵

Yug: bɨĺĺa⁵

Comments: ССЕ 211. Werner 1, 159 <*bǝʎ-> (but Kott. bar 'all' is a transparent Turkic loanword and cannot be compared).

Proto-Yenisseian: *bɨs-

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: wesp, bee

Ket: bɨśtin⁶, bɨśt, pl. bɨśtinǝŋ⁵

Yug: bɨsset^5,6, pl. bɨssetn⁵

Kottish: pačem "hornet"

Comments: ССЕ 211. Werner 1, 160 says "kot. pačem "Hornisse" läßt sich mit ket. bɨśtin "Wespe" kaum verbinden", but does not explain why - phonetic and sematic correspondences are in this case completely satisfactory. For the Ket and Yug forms he gives a most fantastic explanation: Ket. bɨśtin < bɨʔs 'penis' + -t (genitive marker) + iʔn 'needle' ("needle of the penis"??); Yug bɨsset (obviously = Ket. bɨśt-) < bɨʔs 'penis' + i:^ht 'tooth' ("tooth of the penis")??? - thus preferring very dubious folk etymologies to regular reconstruction.

Proto-Yenisseian: *boks[e]ji (~-ɔ-)

Meaning: pimple

Ket: bɔkśá ( < bɔkśa:³), pl. bɔkśan⁵

Yug: bɔksej⁶ / bɔkse:j³, pl. bɔksin⁵ / bɔkse:n³

Comments: ССЕ 212. A compound with the second component *s[e]ji 'wound, sore' (q.v.). Werner (1, 139) suggests (with a question mark) *boʔk 'fire' as the first component, which is quite dubious.

Proto-Yenisseian: *bol-

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: mushroom

Ket: bɔĺba⁶, bɔĺva⁶, pl. bɔĺban⁵, bɔĺvan⁵

Yug: bɔlba⁶, pl. bɔlban⁵//bɔlba:n³

Kottish: pol-šoja 'tree fungus'

Arin: pen-betu (Лоск.) "mushroom"

Comments: ССЕ 212. Reconstruction of *-rb- (see КС 171) is erroneous; the Arin form should be probably analyzed as pen-betu < *pel-betu (for the second part see *bit-). Werner 1, 139-140.

Proto-Yenisseian: *boL-bVs

Meaning: go-between, matchmaker

Ket: bɔĺbeś⁶, pl. bɔĺbeśn (m.) (also bɔĺeś); bɔĺbeśam⁵ (f.)

Comments: The second part is perhaps PY *bǝs- "widow(er)" (q.v.). Werner 1, 140 (without etymology).

Proto-Yenisseian: *boŋ-

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: herring

Ket: bɔŋtuɣ⁶, pl. bɔŋtu:ń³

Comments: The second part probably contains -tiɣ (PY *cīk-) 'fish' (with vocalic assimilation). Like many other fish names the stem is probably of Altaic origin (cf. PA *mVńVk`V 'a k. of fish', whence Yak. majaɣas 'сиг', Mong. munig 'уклейка' etc.).

Proto-Yenisseian: *boŋgul (~w-)

Meaning: knot

Ket: bɔŋul^5,6 ,pl. bɔŋulǝŋ⁵ (or bɔŋgul^5,6 , pl. bɔŋgulǝŋ⁵)

Yug: bɔŋgɨl^5,6, pl. bɔŋgɨlɨŋ⁵

Comments: ССЕ 212. Possibly an old derivative from *ʔāŋ 'string, bind' (q.v.). Werner (1, 141) says: "ein altes Kompositum, dessen Bestandteile man bislang nicht identifizieren konnte".

Proto-Yenisseian: *bɔq-

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: mitten, gauntlet

Ket: bōq, pl. bɔ:n; Kur. bɔʁɔn⁵, pl. bɔʁɔnɨŋ⁵

Yug: bɔxɔn⁵, pl. bɔxɔnɨŋ⁵

Kottish: pagan, pl. -aŋ

Comments: ССЕ 212. Werner 1, 146 *boq. Cf. *pVg-.
