Proto-Yenisseian: *qo (~χ-)
Meaning: ice
Ket: qō
Yug: xō
Comments: ССЕ 260. Werner 2, 126 <*qogǝ>. Kott. ušōx 'ice' is hardly comparable with the Ket form (see under *čǝG-), and Ket qɔgdɔ 'to break ice' hardly justifies a reconstruction *qogǝ: it is rather a compound of qo + k...dɔ 'to clear the way" (or perhaps a component = Yug k-duk 'to break').
